MODEL 82046 - Purchase Info
The most stable, most durable ladder stand on the market today. Over-built with extra-heavy-duty thickgauge steel with wide, welded rungs and sturdy hand rails, the Single Shot is so solid that it does not need a stabilizer bar to prevent ladder and platform wobble. With extra-thick padded seats and a spacious platform, you won’t find a more rock-solid, safer ladder stand anywhere.
Thick, padded seat and arm rests are designed to be ultra-comfortable for extended periods of time. All of our ladder stands are offered in Realtree™ AP camouflage.
We think the most important piece of hunting equipment you can take into the woods is a safety harness that’s certified to meet the TMA standards for harnesses / treestands. That’s why we’ve devoted as much of our engineering expertise to developing our Seat-O-The-Pants line of safety harnesses as we have to developing treestands. Once again, our design principles of Safety, Comfort, Silence and Concealment guided the development of these must-have safety products.
SAFETY: Seat-O-The-Pants harnesses are safe because their tangle-free design makes them easy to put on – even in the dark – so hunters are more likely to use them. With a four-point full-body design that’s completely adjustable for a secure, comfortable fit, the leg straps are configured to prevent groin injury in the event of a fall. Each safety harness includes a lineman-style climbing rope and prussic hitch that helps to maintain continuous contact with the tree to protect you from falls as you climb.
COMFORT: All Summit treestand safety harnesses are lightweight, durable and won’t interfere with your shooting. Convenient slides make it easy to adjust every strap for a perfect fit so they never bind or pull or otherwise feel uncomfortable or impede your movements.
SILENT: All metal components (d-rings, leg buckles) are rubber coated so they’re 100% silent in the woods.
ROPE SYSTEM Summit’s Treestand Safety Rope Climbing System is another innovative breakthrough in treestand convenience and safety.
The strong, 30’ braided nylon climbing rope features a pre-attached prussic hitch, which clips to your safety harness tether. The prusik hitch can then be slid up the rope while you climb to your stand, or slid back down as you descend — yet it will clinch tight in the event of a slip or a fall.
This system adds an important safety component to your hunt during those critical periods when you are not seated or standing safely in your stand. The oversized rope, clip and carabineer are also easy to use when wearing gloves.
Features to Look for In a New Safety Harness
There’s a lot of thought and engineering that goes into a good treestand safety harness, and the best subscribe to the time-proven KISS (keep it simple, stupid) principle. At Summit, we try to make everything as simple as possible — but never TOO simple. And that especially goes for our Seat-O-The-Pants Safety Harnesses.
1. Tangle-Free Design: A safety harness doesn’t do you any good if you aren’t wearing it, which is why we pioneered tangle-free designs with our SOP harnesses so they’d be easy to put on and take off. Our standard SOP harness features a handy fanny pack to store your straps when you aren’t wearing the harness. With our FastBack harnesses, all you have to do is pick them up by the tether, and the harness is ready to slip on just like a vest.
2. Lightweight & Comfortable: Vest-style harnesses look easy to put on and take off, but that’s often the best part about them. Many are heavy, hot, bulky and uncomfortable to wear — especially over a couple of layers of fleece and an outer shell. SOP harnesses are almost weightless, and once they’re on, you almost forget they are there. SOP harnesses are also designed to be worn either over or underneath your hunting garments — a handy feature for cold-weather hunting when you want to rig up back in camp.
3. Safety: That’s why you wear them, right? Our SOP harnesses quickly and easily adjust for a perfect fit so there’s no binding or pinching, which is especially important if you fall. Plus, our tether straps feature sewn-in break-away pleats which pop open to lessen the shock of a serious fall, so you stay awake and alert.

Summit’s ultra-comfortable saddlestyle seat also flips up to become a padded back pad for stand-up hunting. The built-in “quick clip” secures the seat to the back pad.

FEAR NOT, FOR THE ALL NEW RAPTOR™ SERIES OF HANG-ON STANDS OFFERS EVERY OUNCE OF RELIABILITY AND EASE OF USE THAT DISTINGUISHES A SUMMIT STAND, BUT IN A HIGHLY MOBILE CONFIGURATION.

THE ULTIMATE HANG-ON STAND SEATING SYSTEM.

You can also quickly change the height of the seat for improved circulation – or just to change positions. And the seat flips up flush against the tree trunk, making it easy to stand with your back to the tree.
EVERY JOINT IS LOCKED INTO PLACE BEFORE WELDING, AND DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE STRESS ON EACH WELD.
RAPTOR SERIES
DESIGNED BY ENGINEERS. AND HUNTERS.
If you think all hang-on treestands look and function pretty much alike, you haven’t seen the new Raptor Series featuring Summit’s innovative Talon Quick-Attach Bracket System. Once you strap the compact bracket to a tree, you can install or remove the stand in less than 30-seconds. Easy, quiet and foolproof – especially in the dark, the Talon System allows you to remove your stand from the tree every night to prevent theft or to comply with hunting regulations – without the hassle of re-hanging the bracket every morning. (Additional Talon brackets are available separately.)
NEW for 2010: WATERPROOF, FOAM RSX seat.
The new RSX seat for our Raptor Series Hang On Stands is made from closed-cell foam using cross link technology. To us regular folks, this means that it is a waterproof, extra-thick foam cushion that is soft enough to sit on for hours.
Single Cable Spreader Design:
All of the Raptor Series hang-on stands feature our Single Cable Spreader design. Meaning the platform is supported by a single, self-leveling cable with a unique spreader bar below the seat. A seemingly simple feature that significantly increases the useable space on the platform by eliminating the constricting “V” formed by traditional 2-cable suspension systems. The leveling cable system makes it incredibly easy to make precise adjustments to the platform, too.
ANYONE WHO STEPS FROM THE TRODDEN PATHS OF CIVILIZATION INTO THE GREAT WILD IS A LUCKY INDIVIDUAL. WHEN YOU DO SO TO ENACT YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THE FOOD CHAIN, SO MUCH THE BETTER. BUT THIS STEP REQUIRES PREPARATION. EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE, AS WELL. FORTUNATELY THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN A PASSIONATE HUNTER, WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A TRAINED ENGINEER, SETS OUT TO MAKE TREESTANDS. THIS IS WHAT YOU GET EVER SINCE JOHN WOLLER SR. STARTED SUMMIT TREESTANDS IN 1981.
THE COMBINATION OF HUNTING PASSION AND ENGINEERING EXPERTISE GOES A LONG WAY IN EXPLAINING WHY SUMMIT HAS LEAD THE WAY IN DEVELOPING STANDS THAT ARE SECURE, COMFORTABLE, SILENT AND CONCEALED. PROOF IS EVIDENT IN OVER A DOZEN SUMMIT PATENTS, NOT TO MENTION COUNTLESS INNOVATIONS YOU NOW FIND THROUGHOUT THE INDUSTRY – PADDED SEATS, BARS AND GUN RESTS, NOISELESS PLASTIC BUSHINGS, KNOBS INSTEAD OF WING-NUTS, WELDED BACK BAR BOLTS – THE LIST GOES ON. IT’S THE SAME COMBINATION THAT KEEPS SO MUCH OF THE MANUFACTURING OF SUMMIT TREESTANDS IN DECATUR, ALABAMA WHILE OTHERS MOVE THEIR OUTFITS OFFSHORE. AND IT’S WHY SUMMIT STANDS ARE BACKED BY THE BEST WARRANTY IN THE BUSINESS. IT’S WHAT MAKES A SUMMIT – WELL, A SUMMIT.
A MESSAGE FROM JOHN WOLLER SR. When I first started making climbing stands in my garage over thirty years ago, I never dreamed Summit would grow to become the industry leader in treestand design and engineering. Safety, Comfort, Silence and Concealed – they’ve been the guiding principles of product development at Summit since I founded the company in 1981, and we’ve worked hard to apply them to all of our new products for 2009. I’m particularly excited about our all-new Raptor Series hang-on stands with the Talon Bracket System – which makes hanging a stand every morning fast and easy. Our new outfitter-quality ladder stands will set a new standard for stability and durability, too.
And, I’m especially pleased with our new line of ground blinds, which are a logical extension of our treestand business. The new Run-N-Gun blinds look great in the new digital FLX camo, and they set up so fast that you may wonder what you did before they came along. Our new layout blinds for waterfowl hunting actually make lying in a muddy cornfield comfortable, and the new digital FLX-OT will attract everyone’s attention except the geese and ducks. So, here’s to some good hunting in 2009. Just please remember to wear your safety harness so you’ll be hunting again the next season, too. – John Woller Sr. (Labcoat Guy), Summit Founder
