Best climbing treestands

[cohntr6]

I am looking into climbing treestands and need some input.

(I dont think I am interested in a fixed stand because you still need to buy some sort of

way to get into the stand steps, etc.)

 

So, safety first.

Summit seems good but the cables may not be the best for aspen trees or other

slick species) That is my hang up with Summit.

 

api?

It has to be quiet going up the tree and remain quiet while hunting.

Lightweight.

Reasonabley priced.

Thanks for any input.

I want the good, bad and ugly.

Anybody heard of cougar claw usa?

API Bowhunter. I have used this model for years and really like it. Packs easy, light weight, quiet and easy to climb with. It grips good on all types of trees from east coast to west coast.

Be extra careful with a climbing treestand. They do slip sometimes and you need to be anchored. If it does slip or you fall out of a climber, it is difficult to descend, and you will die if you hang there too long. With a climber, you should consider one of the descent systems out there. PM me if you want more info. Be safe.
