Maybe that's the key then, more haste, less speed. As you so rightly put it were never too old to learn. I'm not bad but always room for improvementย

I keep trying to 'slim down' my kit but always end up shoving the whole lot in the car 'just in case'.
If I have to walk (which is very rare these days) I have a converted fishing trolley with wheelbarrow wheels fitted so I can get as much gear as possible to the hide site.
I obsess that if I don't have that one piece of equipment with me it will drastically affect the outcome , truth be told it probably makes no difference but on a slow day I look for any reason as to why the birds dont come, and like all sportsmen I always blame my equipment or lack of it, I think my head needs looking atย

I have always tried to save money on things like decoys , nets etc, but since I got older and began to creak a lot, I had to buy a seat that was comfortable, adjustable legs to sit level on all terrains, adjustable height , swivels 360 degrees, a good strong backrest, and folds down to an easily portable size,
I found the answer in my Bergara Quake industries 'stag'. all terrain seat.
It was around ยฃ80 but after trying it for a few outings I got back in touch with them and bought another, I often have a friend or my son coming out with me and its handy to have a spare anyway, its now 2 years old, has never broken or caused any problems.
I bought the first one on eBay but the second direct from the importer and saved another ยฃ5.
The only thing I found was the seat cushion was a bit firm so I had the wife knock me up a small foam cushion to give me a bit more comfort as many of my sessions will last 5 to 6 hours with a lot of sitting waiting.
They are still listed on eBay but have gone up a little in price , now ยฃ89 listing numberย 330846514737 and are actually being sold by Pigeon Watch.

Thank you, I'll have a look at those

Thank you. I'll keep pondering over seats ๐คฃ

I've been looking at lots of seats but keep coming back to the buckets.

I'm sure it's been asked before but what kit would you deem essential if you were starting from scratch?

Had a fantastic day at purbeck shooting school yesterday. First time I've got at the clays for years so I was very rusty but had lots of fun. Really well layed out and something for all skill levels. Friendly helpful staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Even had a really nice bacon roll and coffee. All in the sunshine too!
