You can find used Aluminum summits on craigslist pretty regular at less then 150 bucks. I love my summits and never have any issue at all with them. If I had to buy a stand tonight, It would be a summit.

May I ask what feels unsafe about your summit?

Turkey killer, that's a typo. I meant to say, I CAN tell you that I feel very safe. I love my summit titan.

I had to make the same call this summer, I don't have $400 to spend on a climber. I am not going to go back and re-write everything that I have about the XOP enforcer but its a replica of the LW sit and climb except its made in China and the same guy that started LW started XOP with his son. Its not as comfortable as a Summit (not much is) but it packs way way better and is 10X easier to carry. I took my seat off and added a hazmore seat, added new stabilizer straps from 3rd hand archery and added Molle 2 straps and I can carry this tree stand all day. I loved my summit vipers, great stand and very comfortable but it was a dadgum pain in the neck for me to carry around the mountains that I hunt. You can probably find a used summit for a good price if that's what your heart is set on.

PM to you Gomer, I am going to send you everything I sent another member who asked for pro's and cons of the XOP.

It's not a knock off. The same guy that invented lone wolf is now working with this company. XOP Enforcer is the name of the stand we were discussing. I ordered one and it got here 3 days later from Field Supply. It is not as comfortable as a Summit but will work extremely well for early season hunts. Its light and super quiet also. If your a bigger guy, get the wide version. I'm 6-3 260 and it is just almost to small for me.


FYI if you want to make it summit seat comfortable you can put a summit seat on it. Guy on archery talk has his set up with a summit seat and it looked awesome. Thinking about ordering one just to put on for gun season.

I've been opposed to using one in the past b/c, well, I just don't trust them, but it looks like I'll have to get over that. I hear a lot of people talking about the Lone Wolf stands, but they look to be $400-500 and I just can't pay that. Are there any options that are a little more affordable, and still safe/sturdy?

Also, I have no atv so I'm hoofing it wherever I go...the lighter the better - but I know that will probably mean more $$$.

What are my best options?


Sent you a pm.
