API IS the best made. I have had both and the API outperformed the summit in every category for me.

Just the opposite for me. I sold both of my API stands shortly after I climbed my first tree in my Viper SD. I will say this, I want the Goliath.

Have a API Grand Slam Magnum that is my go to climber. Weighs 22 pounds and can sit in it all day . Never gave me a single problem.


As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

There are many good safe stands out there
I'm a Summit man ,I have had the Viper Classic
and if your going Summit spend the extra if you can
for aluminum,,it's much lighter.
I personally like the Goliath model the best.


Every day's a gift !

Snowman, you're right. I now have a Treewalker. I had several API's, all old models. Treewalker is lighter than they were. I felt safer with the way the chains conformed to the trees shape.
The API's went to crap when Mr Meeks sold them to BassPro. The stands once made in the USA went to China. Mr Meeks sold his company because an idiot misused the free belt stand companies gave and hung his self. Of course in this Country idiots can sue.
I think he had to sell the company to pay the decision. I don't care who makes a stand, I won't buy anything my life depends on that is made in or uses parts made in China. You guys should remember the year around 5 Alabama hunters either died or were crippled when Ol'man treestands made in China failed. Hunt Safe


Thomas Jefferson. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends!

If being a dumbass was fatal some of you would be on your death bed!

Perch, the tale I heard is when the judgement was rendered, Mr. Meeks walked over to the guy that sued him and dropped the facility keys on his table.

I have a Viper SD and a 180 Max, love the both, the 180 max is unreal to sit in, literally can be an all day stand, however it's frame width makes it a little more awkward carry.

I've got an X stand sit and climb for public land hunting that I've modified and it weights in at 14.5 pounds, you don't even know it is there. But it sits like a loc-on, 3 hours is about all I can do comfortably in it.
