User questions & answers

Question:	can you buy an enclosure for it
Answer:	Logan, yes everything you need comes with it, I did add an additional tie down strap for additional safety.
Question:	Does the backrest sit up against the tree or is it spaced away from the tree
Answer:	Says in the description, mine is 19 feet. DO NOT have this shipped. Box ripped, pieces missing not discovered until assembly. Big Game refused any request for parts. Had to order and pay for parts 3 months ago and have not received anything. The only solution would be to disassemble and return and hope the next one arrives complete. Total joke.
Question:	does it come with the straps and everything needed to mount it
Answer:	I use a small mixer, the Behringer Xenyx 502 to sum the audio into my in-ears. This also helps me playing on stage because i get a FOH mix direct from the board and I can mix it in to my in-ears.
Question:	How tall is the stand
Answer:	Comes with batteries. No Ac adapter. The adapter is the PSB-1U

Answer:	No
Question:	Does stand have extra support bars
Answer:	No, just the mid ladder support to tree
Question:	Does this come with any straps or supports to go around the tree
Answer:	One ratchet strap but I used 3 myself for safety and I’d suggest you do the same. I wrapped one around a step and then around the tree, used the one that come with it to attach it to the tree at the top and used the 3rd one where the support brace goes against the tree. Safety safety safety
Question:	How wide is the ladder

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the diameter (thickness) of the rope
Answer:	Heavy enough. Exact diameter without measuring not sure. I d say 1/2 maybe 5/8 no more. Well braided and stranded. Side note I've been in trees at twenty plus feet for forty years, no as I get older (70) and smarter I like the added security. Another bonus s once up, you just sit down, no straps to mess with in the dark to hook in, you are already hooked in. Highly recommended to all my family and hunt buds
Question:	Is this system all you need or do you need to add a harness or other item
Answer:	The harness is definitely needed. There are several optional add ons to the basic harness and tree strap - this is one of them. I have the basic harness and this and love it.
Question:	Is it true these are only good for 2 months
Answer:	They'll last two months but they're not long enough for a lot of tree stands.
Question:	Does this come with a strap to secure it to the tree above your head? Unclear based on description and answers so far
Answer:	If you are wearing a harness with a tail ( safty strap) off it, you simply clip it on at the bottom of the tree ,climb the tree and you are secure once you get to the top. You don't need another strap or rope on the top of the tree to attach to your harness. You are already set. There are plenty of you tube videos showing how fast and efficient it is.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this stand work properly on a lightpole? What is the minimum diameter of tree or pole it will climb? Thanks, Jim
Answer:	Jim, In my opinion it will work. I also found some specs for the stand which says minimum tree diameter is 8” and max is 20”.
Question:	Does it have a bar for steadying a rifle
Answer:	If you are of average build, you can lower the seat height and use the top bar/side bars to build a arm/stand triangle for good accuracy. Obviously, you’re not going to win the 1000 yd trophy out of it, but for the average 100 yard whitetail hunting shot you should be good to go if you are a moderately competent shooter. Of course all bets are off when the fever kicks in!
Question:	Would you recommend this for bow hunting
Answer:	The summit viper is perfect for bow hunting. That's what I use mine for. Very comfortable and safe. Always wear a harness and you are good to go.
Question:	Is this stand good for standing up to shoot a bow
Answer:	Yes, that all i use mine for is bow hunting. Its a really good climbing stand.

Summit Viper SD Climbing Treestand

The Viper SD is comfort engineered to keep you concealed, quiet, comfortable, and safe. The full perimeter frame allows the Viper SD to be a sit-down/stand-up climber, which makes it an easy climbing treestand. The suspended foam padded seat provides all day comfort, yet remains quiet and easy to move out of the way. Weighing in at just 20 pounds., the Viper SD is engineered to be lightweight and easily portable. It is no wonder why the Viper SD is our most popular model.

This is Where We Stand

What does it mean to climb? It means never settling. It means always pushing toward the next highest point. Because good will never be good enough if better still exists. It means knowing what it takes to reach the top of your game, and then trusting each step to get there. And when those steps lead you higher - to a new point of view - you will know that you have arrived. At the Summit.

This is the place you’ve chosen to make your stand – and we will stop at nothing to protect your position.

That means creating products that are quiet and lightweight. You might trek miles in the dark, taking every possible precaution along the way to remain undetected. And we will maintain your cover. It means safety. The true weight our products must carry is not just yours – it’s everything and everyone you care about. We will shoulder the load. It means comfort. When your target enters striking distance, the last thing on your mind should be your treestand or harness. We will help you take the shot without hesitation. Rising to these standards isn’t easy. But you won’t stand for anything less. There is a place where victory comes into focus and excuses fall to the wayside. That place is a Summit.

Answer:	It's to the height of the shooting rail, or pretty much to the seat.
Question:	what is height to platform
Answer:	20" strong double steel ladder.....
Question:	if you leave the stand up all the time can the seat be removed in the off season
