The Summit Open Shot SD treestand is Summit's lightest treestand at 6.8kg (15LBS) with an OPEN seat frame. It's very compact, offers great visibility in all directions and will allow you to bow-shoot game at the base of your tree. Its comfortable tilting seat can easily be folded up to save space on the platform when you want to stand along the trunk. It can also be shot sitting down, making it a particularly popular model with archers.
Built to last, the Open Shot SD is covered by Summit's 5-YEAR limited warranty.

A few explanations of the technology used to manufacture Summit treestands:
Summit's Dead Metal Sound Deadening SD Technology: Every little noise that can be avoided is crucial to keeping you hidden during a blind. This sound deadening technology works by filling critical areas of the platform with expanding foam specifically designed to reduce unintentional noise caused by movement on the platform.
Summit QuickDraw® Cable Retention System: An important innovation in the use of self-climbing tree stands. It is the fastest and quietest cable retention system ever invented. Once the cable has been sized for the diameter of the trees, all you have to do is insert the cable into the QuickDraw® bracket on the suspension arm, pull the "safety trigger" and the cable locks securely in place. Simple, no need for pins, nuts or bolts, and absolutely safe and silent!
Summit RapidClimb® Climbing Stirrups: Ergonomically designed and adjustable to fit any shoe. Fast and incredibly easy to use, they come standard on all Summit self-climbing treestands.
SummitLokt® Precision Welding: High-quality extruded aluminum and SummitLokt® precision welding technology ensure absolute rigidity and maximum strength in every treestand. Each joint is designed so that stress on the weld is minimized and "locked" into place before welding. The result is a silent, strong, safe and secure treestand!
