Page 2 of 2 - Summit Treestands Adjustable Gun Rest Reviews

Directions putting together not good,haven't hunted with it yet crossbow season next week well see

Sadly, it seems Summit Treestands deleted my original review. I STAND by my review. I purchased the Adjustable Gun Rest ONLINE on 31 Oct 2022 from their website. As soon as I received it, I installed it on my Goliath stand. Granted, the instructions remain non-intuitive and the diagrams provided appear as though this company does not want you to fully understand how to install it. However, I did eventually discern a way forward and successfully installed the rest. On my very first hunt the next day with the new rest in place, while resting my weapon upon it to merely steady my scope and view the surrounding area after hearing a noise and trying to investigate it, the rest collapsed down onto the front bar of the stand. Unable to determine what happened, I re-raised it after loosening the knobs, re-tightened the knobs and attempted to scope the area again. The rest collapsed again. This time, I left it collapsed. Because I sat up in a tree, I could not see why the rest would not stay in place. Upon returning home, I more closely scrutinized the gun rest and its components. I quickly realized one of the a 'metal' part had literally snapped off. noted to disassemble it and inspect it once I finished my hunt and returned home. because at the time, sitting high up in a tree, I could not see why it was not holding up and was not until I returned home enabling closer scrutiny I realized a 'metal' part (one side of one of the Gun Rest Adjustment brackets) had literally snapped off. In my opinion, in no way, shape, or form, since it seems to be designed to support the weight and pressure of a hunter resting their hunting weapon and probably their forearm upon it, should weight and/or pressure applied to the rest cause it to crack apart, unless the part is defective. Upon further inspection, the part seems to be made from lightweight material, but I am not a metallurgist. To dispel any thoughts about the buyer having abused the part or slammed his brand new treestand and Adjustable Gun Rest around, while in his possession (my possession), this stand did NOT receive any impacts...accidental or deliberate...which might have caused any damage to contribute to the breakage. Bottom-line, NO PRODUCT should ever break when it is brand new out of the box, short of catastrophic circumstances, again, which, since it has been in my possession, my stand did not suffer at any time.

I purchased the "Model SU85252 fits the Goliath® SD, Titan SD, and 180° Max SD" for my brand new Goliath stand on 31 Oct 2022. First day with it on my stand, I rested my gun on it. When I used the rest to scan around me, I felt the rest collapse. Until I returned home and began inspecting the rest to figure out why it would not stay in place after it had collapsed, my closer scrutiny revealed the "10544 GUN REST ADJUSTMENT BRACKET" supporting the rail had cracked in half. Clearly, the hardware holding the rail in completely UNRELIABLE! Before you purchase it, give some serious thought to simply saving yourself some agony and DON'T!

I wasn't sure at 1st but It seems to be sized/proportioned right for sitting in the and resting a rifle on it. Someone did their homework. It would be nice to have 1-2 extra sets of the small rubber bushings. I might be able to make/buy some.

It’s is the perfect add on for my stand. I hunt a lot of large fields and need that extra bit of support to make sure I hit my mark and make a quick clean kill. It was super easy to install and is built to last just like all other Summit products.

Installed last week and used on first day of bow season (Crossbow). Easy to install, easy to adjust. Adjusts for packing, climbing, and once in the seat, set it for the correct shooting position. When you are done, adjust for the climb down. Got the on
