would be nice to have one that folds flat for transportation. I love my viper. The smartest thing I did was get one with the foot rest. I fold up the seat and sit on the top part of the seat while leaning against the tree with my fee on the foot rest. Kind of half standing / have sitting. can do this for about 3 hours without moving. Then when I catch sight of a deer will be able to stand up for the bow shot without much movement. At least not as much if I was coming from a full sitting position.

You haven't sat in a Lone Wolf then. Lone Wolf has had quality climbers that fold flat for years. A little heavy, but I'll never switch.
But after all it doesn't say summit on it so I'm sure no one will check it out.



You are correct sir.I have never owned a Lone Wolf.I will never try one either until they replace their seat.Every time Lone Wolf comes up on a thread in Archery Talk all you hear is how uncomfortable the seats are.If it was just 1 or 2 times i wouldnt think anythink about it.But it comes up everytime.$400 stand and the seat is terrible.
Oh by the way i dont use a Summit i use a Cougar Claw,IMO the best stand made.
Stands are like trucks and bows.Different strokes for different folks.
Good luck and good hunting.



I'll agree the seat wasn't the greatest. I replaced mine with one of of a no-namer that I was using that already had my but print in it. lol. I think LW has some new seat on them now looks better, but I haven't sat in it.

Are you referring to the "backpacker" models? If so, they are not really new. I have had for for a few years. I love it. It took all the "bulkyness" out of carrying my regular Summitt through the woods. I have had several Summitt models prior to the backpacker, and liked them all. The backpackers just makes it a lot easier and quieter going through cover. Folds up just like a back pack.

The additional pics shows the stand folded up on his back.

Nope. The new line of Summit stands are all foldable I believe.

Actually, the Lone Wolf climber is lighter than a Summit.

I've been favorably impressed with everything I've ever tried that came from Lone Wolf.


Ditto. I am a Summit convert. Summits are good stands, but the Lone Wolf climber is lighter, quieter, and backpacks better.
