Summit stand broke
« on: December 13, 2009, 02:48:50 PM »
I have a Summit Viper that is around 5 years old.  I noticed today that the weld that holds the diagonal brace where it meets the platform broke.  I don't know how this happened.  Any ideas?  Have you ever heard of this happening before?  Now I need a new tree stand.

at least you are paying attention

you can't really trust ANYTHING

take the time to check it

being rich and driving a wheelchair is not worth the money

as for the climber that is aluminum so its gonna wear at some point, its light and brittle

I called Summit.  They are sending me another platform.  Good company.
