Re: Best Climber Treestand for XBow
I use the Realtree EZ Hanger to hang my bow when in my Viper. I also bring some dollar store hooks for my backpack and other accessories. I never leave my stand in the bush. I have a few favorite trees but it all depends on the wind.
Re: Best Climber Treestand for XBow
I have the viper summitt and I love it. I find it too noisey in the dark for my liking but for the afternoon sit it's great. Very comfortable. If you lock it up in the tree I don't know how you'd get down? I'm serious.

I just picked up a Summit Goliath this year, and an Ol-Man. I am selling the ol-man as soon as I can. The Summit is miles ahead of the Ol-man in ease of use.

I have a Summit Ultimate Viper and the only issue I have with it is that I can't stay awake in it.

Re: Best Climber Treestand for XBow
Good post.
Mine was stolen last year off a piece that was left next to a meth haven.
Can anybody tell me more about ones with shooting rails? I'd like one for cross bow, but NEED one for that property where I rifle hunt, but can't leave a stand there without it being stolen.

Boo is so right! It's a guaranteed nodd off everytime I'm in it. Can't fall out of it though!

Re: Best Climber Treestand for XBow
I thought the whole point in a climber was that you took in and out with you. A lock is just to keep an honest man honest, so what is the point? There is no way in hell I would leave my Summit out of sight! Yes like the others have said, there is no better nap place in the world.

Don't leave it. It takes less than a minute to rig it back into carrying config...

Re: Best Climber Treestand for XBow
The Ultimate Viper SS comes with an adjustable shooting rail plus the climbing bar. I use either to support the xbow depending whether the shooting rail is raised or not. It will rest sideways or straight ahead with the stock next to my right side in the seat. I do not have to hold any of the xbow weight. If you choose to leave a climber in the woods, you can use a cable lock, but as has been said, if a thief wants your treestand, it's GONE, no matter if you use a logging chain to "secure" it.BizROWorld wrote:Do you keep the crossbow on your lap while sitting the whole time?

It's easy to climb with, very comfortable if you plan to sit for most of a day, has an adjustable shooting rail which really helps with a crossbow or rifle, and is really well made.

Re: Best Climber Treestand for XBow
Not sure I would leave it in the woods locked to a tree,even if you locked the solid frame to the tree some butt head would take the cable part just so you couldn't use it.then you'd have to order a new cable.

Had someone cut a tree down and slide the chain and stand off. Was not a happy camper! Leave nothing behind anymore.Louvp wrote:Not sure I would leave it in the woods locked to a tree,even if you locked the solid frame to the tree some butt head would take the cable part just so you couldn't use it.then you'd have to order a new cable.
Re: Best Climber Treestand for XBow
Yeah Wheelie,if they want your stand theres not a lock thats gonna stop them from taking it.I wouldn't leave a $300 climber in the woods,I leave cheaper hangon stands locked to the tree.but I've had them stolen, so I try not to leave them if I'm not gonna be hunting for awhile.wheelie wrote:Had someone cut a tree down and slide the chain and stand off.

Re: Best Climber Treestand for XBow
I cant believe nobody locks their stands to trees. Everyone I was in hunting camp with in PA a week ago locked their climbers to trees, and this was on state land. When you got a 1-2 mile walk into the woods, im sure it would be a pain to carry a climber in and out with you along with your xbow, etc.
