Have to agree go for the Summit Viper. Watch videos on YouTube before you ever climb. If you can practice in your yard on a tree up and down 10' to 15' several times. Secure your harness before you ever begin climbing either with the trees trap that comes with your harness or a prussic knot style. But two 25'-30' hoist ropes one for your pack and one for your firearm/bow ( I also use my hoist ropes to judge how many feet I am up by how much slack I have), never climb with either on your back and ensure your weapon is unloaded when raising and lowering to and from your stand.
The best thing is to get into a habit and do things the same everytime. I follow the same procedures each time I get to a tree and climb. The only difference is whether I carrying my slug gun or bow.
