I am interested in buying a Summit tree Stand. Cabelas has three on sale, the broadhead, Viper XLS, and Cobra XLS. I primarily bow hunt but during the primitive muzzleloader season I get out the flintlock. Any recommendations on which of these three I should buy?

I've hunted from a Viper the past two seasons. I've bowhunted and used the muzzleloader. You have to pay attention to the shooting rail when you bowhunt, but I've yet to encounter a problem. They're quiet, go on the tree easy and quick, have plenty of platform, very lightweight, pack through the woods well, and really grip the tree. I guess if there is a negative to talk about, sometimes they grip the tree too well. I think I would rather have this than the alternative though. I've never had it slip on me, even from an old shagbark that I've been know to hunt on occasion. Go with the Viper, you won't regret it.

You might want to check out the new models from Summit before you make a final decision. Here's a link-

I have the Summit Goliath X4 Climber. It is great and lots of extra room.
