No one said there was, the company that makes these chairs make all sorts that allow people with mobility problems to carry on enjoying the great outdoors, they even make one that will stand the user up to allow them to shoot standing ( if their disability allows and you have about 25k ) none of us know when or if we will be less mobile or we’ll need the use of a chair, there’s nothing funny about any disability because none of us know what’s waiting for us around the corner 4 Quote Link to post

Apologies, it’s just that I understand the daily difficulties experienced by wheelchair users that most people never think about. The reality of it is there, it’s a bane for sure.
