Summit Open Shot

The open-front design is specifically engineered for bow hunters who need maximum clearance to draw their bow without hitting the front bar. It offers an unobstructed shooting lane, though it does require you to be more mindful of your balance since there is no front rail to lean against.

At 15 pounds, the Summit Open Shot is exceptionally light for a climbing stand. Its aluminum construction makes it significantly easier to pack into deep public land or remote spots compared to heavier steel alternatives.

The stand uses specialized coatings and construction techniques designed to minimize the metallic 'clinking' sounds that often happen when aluminum parts bump against each other. It helps keep your setup quiet, which is critical when you are climbing a tree near bedding areas.

The stand features a suspended, adjustable seat designed for longer sits. While it is built for mobility rather than maximum lounging, the seat provides enough support to keep you comfortable during a typical morning or evening hunt.

The Summit Open Shot is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 300 pounds, which includes both the hunter and all their gear.

Yes, it includes a full-body safety harness, which is essential for climbing stands. You should always wear it from the moment you leave the ground until you return.
