Hang-on stands are a popular stand choice for bowhunters. Hang-on stands allow stealthy entry and exit from a stand and superb concealability.

There are several things to consider when searching for the right treestand to fit your needs. Here's your checklist.

Follow these steps to keep your trophy mount looking as good as the day you hung it on the wall!

Visitors to the Summit booth at this year’s ATA show got to see the continuing evolution of some of America’s most trusted treestands. 

The 2017 ATA Trade Show at the at the Indiana Convention Center was one for the books for the Summit Treestands Team.

Lee and Tiffany switch to Summit harnesses, as the partnership between The Crush and Summit Treestands climbs to new heights. 

The new Summit Sentry SD is a must-have tool in the possession of any serious bowhunter. Summit Treestands adds the Sentry SD to its diverse lineup of Climbing Treestands. 

Two words - "Engineered Concealment." Summit Treestands®, the industry leader in producing innovative and cutting-edge methods for hunting from an elevated position, redefines ladder stands with The Vine™ Single and Double Hunter—as well as The Vine climbing sticks and Back Country hang-on stand.

Comfortable, compact, and easy to setup, Summit Treestands’ Peak tree stand is the latest addition to its line of The Crush™ Series of stands. According to Grand View Outdoors, “the Peak epitomizes high performance for high places and is a favorite choice of Lee and Tiffany Lakosky of The Crush™.”  Hang the Peak tree stand within seconds, and begin your hunt from the comfort of seat that includes a padded arm and backrest.

With Summit’s Buckstep Climbing Steps, climbing trees that are inaccessible to tree stands is now possible. New and improved, these climbing sticks boast “a smaller profile and reduced weight to enhance the ease of packing to and from that trophy whitetail’s haunts,” says AmmoLand. And its silent tree attachment allows for quiet entry and exit, so you won’t disturb the deer you’ve eagerly been waiting to hunt. 

Hunter Cory Yarmuth wasn’t a fan of climbing tree stands until he saw the Summit Viper SD.  “Weighing in at 20 pounds [its] one of the lightest climbers around,” said Yarmuth. “Climbing with the stand was easy and the adjustments on the climbing cables were simple and quiet. I was able to get much higher in the tree than with a standard hang-on or ladder stand.” Welded aluminum construction results in a tree stand that quieter to climb, and the adjustable seat, cushioned armrests, and padded climbing seat bar makes it “the most comfortable stand that I have had the pleasure to use.”

Named an “Outdoor Life Great Buy,” Summit’s Peak is the ultimate choice for tree stand comfort. “The height-­adjustable, trampoline-style seat will keep posteriors happy, and it silently lifts out of the way for standing shots,” making this tree stand ideal for all-day hunting trips. Its integrated footrest and padded armrest add to the comfy appeal of this hang-on tree stand, and at this price point, is one of the most affordable, high-quality products on the market.
