gravel 63 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Does anyone have an opinion on this product, are they as good as they look, yet overpriced? Quote Link to post
bullmastiff 615 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Got to use one at an airgun competition once. seemed comfy enough for the amount of time I used it, but my (and many others) guns wouldn't fit in the gun rest so had to balance it on top. Also the chair swivels really easily. meaning the slightest movement of you feet will twist the chair about a bit. I'm sure with a bit of use/practice you'd get used to using it. Quote Link to post
gerfalcon 13 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 A plastic drum and a set of shooting sticks work out a lot cheaper and weigh less. Just leave the drums dotted around your shoot and just carry your sticks means you never have to carry that hulking great tripod over your shoulder. Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I don't get it, never have, someone tell me what I have missed!? Who wants to sit in a metal frame all day shooting? What use is it in the field or in competition (where you wouldn't be able to use it anyway)! Just don't see the point, what do you use it for?? :hmm: Cheers Quote Link to post

bullmastiff 615 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) They have the advantage of being just as steady as using a tripod to rest the rifle on, plus are easier to stay on target whilst tracking round following quarry until it stops. With self leveling legs it also gives you a flat platform to shoot from. If you think of them more as a mobile low seat (rather than highseat) and you get the picture. Stick it in a bag with a scrim net and I'm sure they'd be useful for some. Can't say I'd ever buy one though, a small fishing stool and a set of sticks are a damn sight cheaper!!

IMO they are a great example of a product designed to meet a need that doesn't exist. The angling industry is always coming up with stuff like that. It usually catches more fishermen than it ever does fish. Its the same with this chair. Quote Link to post
