How safe are the new imbing stands? Been looking at the Summit stands and they look well built. Got picked to a deer reduction hunt and thought that may be a good option since I had planed on a ground blind but they are not allowed. I have a hunter safty system I use on my ladderstands.
I love my Summit Viper SS! Is it safe? Heck yes. The most comfortable stand Ive ever sat in period. You learn pretty quickly the dos and donts. For example when you drop something from above, sometimes the only way to retrieve it is go back down. Be prepared, make a list and have what you need before you get up there. Also once your at the hieght you want to be, getting the space right for your sitting position vs your standing position is critical for a comfortable sit. (the distance between the platform and where you sit) Also you can make your rope that you pull your bow up with 25' or the distance you want to climb, and then you know how high in the tree you are.
