WHO LOVES THEIR CLIMBER ?

I have a summit bushmaster. VERY comfortable, as in I could sleep in it. When Its time to get another I'll probably get the summit openshot, however I'd like to try a lonewolf too.

Summit viper ss here. I had an api but it was too heavy and uncomfortable. I can sit in my summit all day.

Love my LW hand climber. Best part is I bought it new for only $50 when a local sports shop had a clearance sale.

Love my lone wolf. The alpha sit n climb is awesome. Also have the hand climber. Been using it because of the weight and shooting clearance, but later when it's time to sit most of the day I'll be back in the sit n climb, much more comfortable.

We just bought another Summit climber and am very pleased with it.

The one we just got is the Open Shot Deluxe.
It is mostly for my fourteen yr old son to use.
We spent some time with it this afternoon. It is only fifteen pounds, and has a smaller profile than the Bushmaster(s) that we have.

For the extra money, I hope the Lone Wolf climbers are better.(never tried a Lone Wolf) But I must say, this new Summit is going to be a favorite for us.

It takes a little more physical effort to climb with the open front, but it is worth it. Even my eleven yr old was able to get it to work for him, and you are strapped to the tree for reasonable safety the whole time.

i have a lone wolf alpha and loved everything except the seat, put a summit seat on it and now this thing absolutely rocks!!!

I might be selling it because I am tempted by the bigger seat on the new wide lone wolf alpha climber, so might do a small upgrade to the bigger model

I've also heard that you can replace the seat on the Lone Wolf Sit'n'Climb tops with an Ol'Man net seat and make it even more comfortable and convenient. I have one of the old school nylon canvas seats on mine and it works well.

I have a Tall Timber that weighs only about 12-14 lbs. I can adjust it to level as I climb, it has a threaded cable and knob to allow adjusting to level.
I hunt mostly from the ground the past few years, but I always take the climber along on the trips in case I find a perfect spot.

Lone wolf, expensive but worth it- light, easy set up, quick set up, quiet climbing.

I have both a Summit and an API. The API is larger, heavier by about 3 pounds but more comfortable. Summit is quieter to set up, lighter to carry. Both are solid, fairly priced.
