Description

Summit's treestands are carefully engineered to be the most silent, secure, comfortable, and concealed hunting treestands on the market. From versatile climbing treestands to adaptable hang-ons, all of our treestands are built to last. All Summit stands are designed and engineered to meet or exceed the ASTM industry standards recognized by the Treestands Manufacturer's Association. Here at Summit, we know what it takes to make quality products. The OPENSHOT SD features an open front that offers total visibility and a convenient fold-up seat, allowing you to stand flush against the tree. When folded up, its seat cushion provides back support, enabling you to stand for longer periods of time. Compact and ultra-portable yet comfortable when you settle down to hunt, the OPENSHOT weighs in at just 15 pounds, making it ideal for venturing deep into the woods. This is where the "SD" in your climber's name comes from. Summit's Dead Metal technology keeps the noise down by filling in critical parts of your stand with custom-engineered expanding foam. Summit's Quick Draw cable retention system securely locks the cable in place for fast, easy, and silent attachment to the tree. Applicable joints are "locked" into place before welding and each joint is designed so the stress on the weld is minimized. RapidClimb Stirrups are comfort-engineered and designed to keep your boot securely attached to the platform.

    • If you're a 38" waist or larger don't get this model.
Style Name: Treestands OpenShot SD Climbing Tre... Color: Mossy Oak
I've read some of the reviews and kinda chuckle. It's a great and safe stand for the well experienced climber. Super light weight and high quality as you can expect from Summit. There's no rail to sit and rest mid climb so if you are out of shape and large around the waist area take note that it's tight. You don't have to be a skinny fella but if you're a 38" or larger waistline look elsewhere. You will be using upper arm muscles. Tricept dips (pre season training)... Grips the tree perfectly as long as you understand the mechanics and can use one of these things you'll be just fine. Perfect for getting in and out of tight places. I love it. Buy new cables every 2-3 years cuz the rubber coating eventually wears off oround the locking lugs from normal use. And finally, don't be a dumb. USE a SAFETY HARNESS and LINEMAN'S ROPE when climbing with any stand. ... show more

    • Big Boy in a Little Stand
Style Name: Treestands OpenShot SD Climbing Tre... Color: Mossy Oak
Review Image by Joey
Contradictory to the other reviews about big guys being able to utilize this stand, I rolled the dice on it in an effort to keep my load lighter and I’m content with my decision. I’m 5’ 9” 260 I lift a lot and like to eat I’m far from the most ideal size. I will say if you’re not comfortable or confident in your climbing gear or skills this is not the stand for you, not having the bars can be nerve racking, I climb telephone poles for a living and even then until I tested the limits and stability of the platform I was initially hesitant. My first attempt at climbing I was concerned and was ready to pack it up when attempting to fit between seat posts I was too wide (57” chest) to get my lats in and forearms over the bars. I realized after some trial and error, the only efficient way to climb was to fold the seat down, keep it below your bottom ribs grab hold of the cables and rest your torso on the seat after that I was up the tree in 3 minutes. It was not the most comfortable nor the most efficient way to climb but it got me up the tree and I didn’t have to bear the weight on my triceps. The seat itself is more comfortable than expected, but the cushion has a habit of rolling to the back and exposing the front bar, I’ve yet to find a solution for that but I eventually will find a way to tether it to the front end of the seat to keep it from sliding back or cover it with a foam insulator. The base was plenty stable, I felt comfortable connected to my bridge and shooting behind the stand as well essentially using it as a saddle stand. Without the bars like a traditional climber you will definitely need a hys strap to hang your gear and will most likely have to stand up and spin around to access it efficiently enough to not drop your things. Overall it gets me up in the tree, it’s light weight so I can cover more distance and it’s stable even for my big ass. I’ll run it for a season or 2 and make a decision on its fate as I am not in love with it but nor do I dislike it at the moment but I am hoping with time it grows on me. ... show more

    • Good Bow Climber
Style Name: Treestands OpenShot SD Climbing Tre... Color: Mossy Oak
Good bow climber. PROS: Lightweight, easy to set up, no bar in the way, sturdy, thick cushion seat. I like to refer to it as my “Climbing Hang-On” Stand. CONS: Alittle awkward to climb with if you’re used to cinching down the teeth by sitting on the bar, not a ton of room for bigger guys (I’m 6’2, 220). Alittle noisy during set up but that’s metal for ya. Overall, good climber. Would recommend for “Sticks and Strings” ... show more

    • Good stand for the price
Style Name: Treestands OpenShot SD Climbing Tre... Color: Mossy Oak
Been using this stand for 3 years. Use it mainly for archery. It is lightweight. It is bulky like all other summit stands due to to the fact that you can't break down the frames. I use 2 bungee cords to put the pieces together then I use the chair part for putting my hunting backpack on it when I'm on the move. The treestand harness provided with the stand is garbage so I would recommend buying a better one. My stirrups are starting to to fall apart so I'm gonna have to to get new ones pretty soon. My cable's plastic shrink is starting to peel also. In overall the stand itself is well built and light weight. My padded seat is still in good condition and is very comfortable on the buttocks. In overall I would recommend this stand for any hunter who is not wanting to spend a fortune for lightweight and portability. ... show more

    • Great stand and im glad i bought it!
Style Name: Treestands OpenShot SD Climbing Tre... Color: Mossy Oak
This stand is not for the old and out of shape. It is a workout climbing up. But if your hiking as far as i am its worth the money just for the weight. Its 15 pounds as it said in the description. The seat has a nice thick pad which is nice. Everything was as advertised and came in great condition. I must say theres not a lot of platform room to lift the seat to stand but its a enough. Definitely use a harness using this stand. I always where one anyway. Also i would suggest buying a hanger of some sort to hang your bow ,gun or gear on. I would also suggest putting on the platform some grip tape or no slip tape. I did on my stand and im glad i did. I would also add another tether to connect the top and the bottom as a just incase fail safe. They do send one with the stand. But it has a plastic clip holding the one end. I just think in really cold temps it could snap off. The last thing i want is to watch the platform for of this stand fall to the bottom of the tree. That would not be a good day for anoyone lol. Oh also the this stand is quite if you strap it together correctly and i found it best to carry with the tree straps down not up. ... show more

    • good and bad
Style Name: Treestands OpenShot SD Climbing Tre... Color: Mossy Oak
This stand is lightweight but as others have stated, it does not stack together as nicely as some of the other Summits. You just kind of have to find a way to get the top and bottom to sit on each other and then tighten the strap as much you can so it doesn't bang. Lots of metal will be touching between the top and bottom part though and since it doesn't have a standard position where the two pieces just fit together naturally, if the pieces move position at all you will have to stop and retighten. It definitely is not like a Viper SD that fits together nicely in the same position each time and all you need to do is a quick snugging of a strap to be secure and quiet. You will definitely play around with this one a little each time to find a fit that works. It is doable but could be better. Once in the stand, the top part is easy to bump when you are standing if seat is flat or while you are flipping the seat up. Having it inclined up a little helps but if flat it can be easy to bump and just the slightest bump and it falls and hits the platform. It would definitely spook deer in the area. I stopped using it after a few times last season and did not bother to try to fix it. I think this can be fixed by being strapped to the tree with an additional strap. The top part pretty secure when sitting in it. Your weight keeps it very snug to the tree. Only when you stand is it an issue. ... show more

    • Not For The Out Of Shape
Style Name: Treestands OpenShot SD Climbing Tre... Color: Mossy Oak
This is a great stand once you make it up the tree, and I'm sure climbing would be easier if I was a little lighter. Luckily, I've still got it just enough to do the motions to make it up the tree, although I'm sure I look like a fish riding a bicycle. I did find one useful cheat, which is if your safety vest has lineman loops, you can rig a rope or strap to go around the tree and use the rope and harness/vest to put your weight on when bringing the platform up instead of trying to put all your body weight on your forearms and seat. Coming down is of course way easier, but going up is not for the weak, physically or mentally. The stand itself is great, lightweight, super rugged, great coating on all the metal, and just high quality all around. ... show more
