It’s probably 30-45 minutes for me. I’m going slow trying not to make any noise. If noise wasn’t an option, it’s a 10 minute deal.


Bowhunting is not for the faint of heart. But fortune favors the bowed.

Never really timed myself but somehow my estimates are always pretty darn close. 30 minutes from time I get to base of tree regardless if hang on set or climber and that includes getting all set in the tree, bow at the ready.
Anyone still have a Loggy climber? Best damn climber ever!! Light, quiet and easy to use. I prefer my climber but when the tree I need to be in requires the hang on that’s what I do.

Starting from base of tree, 20-25 mins then another 5 to set up when standing on the stand platform.
Climbing down and packing up is always 5-10 mins quicker.

When I’m going in blind, hunting somewhere nasty thick or bow hunting I prefer my sticks and assault. When I’m gun hunting, already know the area and have a tree I can use a climber on, I prefer my climber.

I’m faster setting up and breaking down with climber. Im quieter and climbing is way less of a chore with my summit viper. It’s not cumbersome with a net style hammock seat, and even while hunting out of my climber I rarely sit down.

That said, I’m twice as likely to move spots if I’m in the wrong spot in my climber. Busting a move is important to make sure you aren’t wasting your time and if it’s much easier going up and down and I can use less effort, I’m being more proficient gun hunting with my climber.
Be original and Enjoy every step along the adventure.
