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

Some explanations of the technology used to manufacture the 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 stalk. This sound deadening technology works by filling critical parts of the platform with an expanding foam specifically designed to reduce unintended noise caused by movement on the platform.
Summit's 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 is 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 quiet hooking!!!
Summit's RapidClimb® Climbing Stirrups: They are ergonomic and adjustable to fit any shoe. Fast and incredibly easy to use, they come standard on all of Summit's self-climbing treestands.
Summit's SummitLokt® Precision Welding: High-quality extruded aluminum and SummitLokt® Precision Welding technology ensure that each treestand is absolutely rigid and strong. Each joint is designed so that stress on the weld is minimized and "locked" into place before welding. The result is a quiet, strong, safe and secure treestand!
