The idleback chair


Recommended Posts


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.

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: :hmm:

 

Cheers

I don't see the point myself, there also very pricey..

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.
