Summit Viper

[BUCKYJR]

Does anyone have a newer one, or one of the other versions like the Goliath or SDX? I have a 9-10 year old Viper that is still going strong and I love. Thinking about buying a newer one end of season but now they have all sorts of different versions... even a 9lb lighter one. Just curious of any reviews

We have the viper classic, cobra, ss, sd. Can't go wrong with any summit. My personal fav is the viper sd. It's light quiet easy to climb. And love the color

There is one in the classifieds

 

[SBEROB]

I have a 180 max sd. It is one of the more pricier ones I believe. I could sit in that stand all day. It is definitely my favorite climbing stands. I also love the surround seat. I also have a summit viper which is comfortable. Like someone said you can't go wrong with a summit.

add on:
molle straps
third hand archery straps
thud hand archer bow holder
hazmore seat

What's the trick to do with the safety belt when facing the tree.

I've honestly never used it facing the tree lol.

I want a goliath because I think that one has the foot rest. I have a Viper (classic I think) it is 10 years old, but I love it. It is comfortable, but I just want the foot rest.

I had the footrest on my Viper and took it off after a while. Got in the way, never even used it and it was noisy. Never looked back.

Mine is either a Goliath SD or Titan SD. I'm 6'6" 300lbs. I needed the extra weight capacity and larger size dimensions with a footrest. 3 years old and Best climber I've ever owned.

I have the Summit viper classic, same as yours but the newer models that are basically the same. It's heavy, and I'm not real big bodied, so it's a challenge, but for up to 500 yards in it's not too bad. I got it for $150 new...hard to beat. Definitely upgrade the stock straps to either Summit Deluxe straps (what I have) or I think a lot of guys recommend the ...is it Bolle?... backpack straps that have a waist belt as well. I like the Viper for xbow and rifle hunting, but if I were hunting with a compound bow I think the wrap around bar would really get in the way. And if I had lots of money I'd def get the lighter weight ones.

X2!

I have the titan , I'm 6'4 245 and I fit comfortably with all my extra clothes on. Not to heavy at all , a little bulkier than the viper but well worth it if your a bigger boy. I had a viper and liked it until colder weather and more clothes went on and it got tight to stand then trying to get stuff out of your pockets was difficult and ya kinda felt stuck in it

can you show me a picture of this? it sounds like you have a foot rest on a foot rest... :lol:

I have long legs, though, so this would be right up my alley.

I thought I'd seen that thing around before and it could just be added to my existing stand. Thanks for the link.

The Thirdhand footrest also doubles as a deer drag [emoji6]

When I bought my summit it came with the foot rest. Now it's a $40 accessory that probably costs less than $2 to make.

I love my goliath, but it is about the same age as yours. :D

I have 3 Summit stands but never use them any more. My OlMan is lighter and easier to carry. I do think the Summit is a sturdy, comfortable stand but I have a complaint that you probably won't hear from anyone else. They are rock solid on a tree. Too rock solid. My stand bites into the tree so well that I work up a sweat trying to break it loose from the tree climbing up or down with every move. I never thought I'd complain about a stand being too good at what it does.

I have a Goliath and love it. Very roomy and comfortable, added bags to each side for easy access to gear.

You're right Mike it can be quite difficult to climb sometimes.

Summit and Thirdhand stuff are made for each other. I don't know why Summit don't talk to Jim and start a line of stands with his gear included that would be a no brainier.
