sitsinhedges Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I am thinking of buying a shooting seat for roost shooting with. If I stand in one position for too long my lower back seizes up and I thought a shooting stick might be the answer. Has anyone used one and got an opinion on them before I waste my money.

mudpatten Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I too suffer from a bad back and have found that a shooting stick only exacerbates the problem. If I`m going to sit down it needs to be properly with the weight taken off my legs, and therefore pelvis and lower back, completely. The root cause of your back trouble might, of course, be different from mine but I suspect you would find that you had wrongly invested your dosh. My shooting seat consists of a suitably sized robust plastic drum, artistically sprayed in an avant garde cammo pattern, with two, thick, garden kneeling mats, trimmed to shape and threaded through the rope handle which is long enough to go over ones shoulder. It is`nt pretty although it cost nothing, and it is bulky, although very light and surprisingly comfortable. You can, of course, stand to shoot but I`ve learned to shoot from a seated position and regularly use it roost shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
