I am looking for a good climbing stand that is lightweight, strong, and quiet. Anyone have any suggestions. Also i shoot a 68" longbow so clearance needs to be considered.
Lone Wolf hand climber....
Two words, Lone Wolf.
Ditto on lone wolf or Summit. I have been equally happy with both brands.
The buckshot has been my favorite for a long time.I just got a lone wolf/handclimber (17.5lbs) and like the way it works.It is almost 5 lbs lighter than my buckshots (22 lbs)and is easy to set up quietly but does have a little smaller platform on it.It carrys better because it folds down nice and I will use it a lot this year.
I like the Summit Broadhead Backpacker, I have not used Lone Wolf yet.
Lone Wolf; light, quiet and plenty clearence.
I have used both summit tree stands and API climbers. The summit was a little bit lighter, but the API is quieter, imho. like them both.
IMO Lone Wolf Sit and Climb is hands down the best stand on the market.

Lone Wolf. Best piece of hunting equipment I own.

Lone Wolf for me, too. Pricey, yes, but worth every penny.
Lone Wolf, I have yet to find a climber and I have looked at and tried a lot, that packs easier and is as quiet as the LW. Hands down the best! Shawn
Another happy Lone Wolf user!
Summit Open Shot - light, quiet, steady as they come.
Here's one that is over in the classifieds........

Lone Wolf Alpha sit and climb.

the Equalizer looks like a pretty good stand, from what they advertise. Anybody have any info?
Loggy Bayou,
May not be as packable as the lone wolf, but it is more rock solid when attached to the tree, more comfortable, and easier on your wallet.
I spend more time sitting in my loggy bayou climber than I do packing it around.

Yeah Lone Wolf, AWESOME
Summit razor. The padded bar folds back under the seat. I bought one last year and love it. I shoot a 62in recurve with no problem.

Lone Wolf. I just picked up a sit and climb. Sat in it for half an hour last night, jsut twisting and turning to look for problems or noise.
Didn't find a single bad shooting angle and never heard a peep outta the stand.
Took me a measured five minutes to pull the stand from my truck, walk 100 feet to my demo tree, set up the stand and climb to 12'.
Quick and quiet.
Lone Wolf. Trooper turned me on to this one.. Quiet as they come. Trooper, stilll want to do lunch soon..
Lone Wolf for about 7yrs now.
I've got a 1927 summit climber that weighs about 42lbs....Stable in a tree though! LOL
Lone Wolf!!! I don't own one, but hopefully soon. :pray:
You can't go wrong with a lone wolf ! Quiet , solid , and the most stable stand i have ever been in . That includes , hang on, and ladder stands . I have had the hand climber for about 6-7 yrs , GREAT STAND !!!>>>------->RIVERWOLF
