Anyone running one of these?

http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabe...tAds&WT.z_mc_id1=03787352&rid=20

After this weekend I got to do something, my azz & back are KILLIN me!
I like to run and gun so what ever I get needs to be light and set up fast as well as carry easy. Let me know if you guys use these or something else

Have hunted with the chair for the last four years and it is the most comfortable that I have used. It is a bit heavier than others, but I find that it more than makes up for that in comfort and stability.

I will suggest getting a different shoulder strap. The one that comes with it is pretty pathetic and broke the first time out. I put the strap I used for my gym bag (with clips on either end) with a padded shoulder and haven't look back.

I've had the same experience with mine. Very easy to catch a quick nap in too by the way. wink

I have had mine for about 6-8 years and love it. I put a rifle sling on mine and that is the best add on you can do.


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I would leave my shotgun in the truck first! Just kidding.
I have to have a chair,I get so stiff sitting on the ground
that it ruins the hunt for me.

When I went to TX the first time deer hunting with Reloader, everyone made fun of me for bring the chair. Next year I went back and there were more than a few chairs in camp.

I like to hunt from ground setups, and this chair works great. Sits low to the ground, is comfortable enough to sit in all day if needed.


I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....

The "Turkey Thug" model that Walmart carries is a dang good chair as well. About the same thing and much less expensive. I bought 3, gave one to Dad and kept a backup. 2 years on mine and it still handles my fat butt.

I run and gun with it as well, the weight is well worth it. I occasionally will ditch it when in hot pursuit, but take it with me for most hunts.

Like pullit mentioned, a rifle sling is a must. I put a cheap neoprene sling on mine this year and it made a big difference over that cheap stock strap.

I've got one these, hasn't been a bad chair, but could be a smaller package to carry. It is comfortable and easy to set against a tree, and can sit by itself if you need to:
