I thought I would pass this along to anyone looking at this particular stand https://www.summitstands.com/viper-level-pro-sd-mo-elements-terra-gila
(Viper Level Pro)
I bought one yesterday only to find out after it shipped that there is a recall. I contacted Summit this morning and they can't/won't tell me what the issue is until they get some sort of report.
He did say that it looks like they will be issuing refunds so it must be a big issue.

Get a cougar claw and be done with it.

Purchased one about 5 or 6 years ago and i had to move the foot straps back, not sure how they expected someone to climb (safely for that matter) with them that far forward smh.

They irritate me to be honest. You compare an older summit to a newer one, especially a Viper, and the new one is alot smaller. One would assume if you have a Viper already, and it fit you well, and your order a new one, that you would expect it to be the same. Oh no! I can't even get my knees above the bar in the front with the new one, but the old viper, no problem.

I did pick up an older open shot for $50 bucks last weekend at a yard sale. It's really light.

I have never cared for Summit stands but I thought I would give this one a try because of the adjustability after you're in the tree. I have a buckshot that does this but weighs a ton. It is also strange to me that they would post on their Facebook page about the recall but there is nothing on the website that I can find.
