BRAD1927 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Bucket seats are great just be careful of the quality as some are a bit on the thin side. If you got the funds I would suggest the folding seats for sale on here I have one and they are fantastic plus will hold up to 19 stone!!!

hawkeye Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Have a look on Paul Hart's site the pigeon shooter he has swivel seats on there Paul asked me to test one for him as im over 20 stone and they are more than strong enough to take my weight will be doing a full review after i have used it quite a few times... Only had chance to use it a couple of times up to now but looking good they are really strong .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 The only limitation I have found with all bucket seats is their fixed height. I find them too high, or (mostly) too low in most circumstances. Having the ability to adjust the height of your seat is a major advantage when shooting for long periods and over different terrain. You also need a flat bit of ground to put them on, which is not always available. I have one, but I don't use it often and I would not have it as my only seat.

richg Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 The answer to your prayers is the STAG ALL TERRAIN SEAT from Cabella's. It rotates, is adjustable for height 16" to 23". they claim it will carry 300ib. I have had one for over a year now and it does everything it says on the tin. all four legs are adjustable so uneven ground is no problem. it is robust and strong. There are only two downsides that i have found, the cushion is not good enough, (I've replaced mine) and the legs are a little bit fiddly to adjust and fit until you get the hang of it. But once set up it is a fantastic seat to shoot from. The only other downside is the price, mine cost me £110 in total from the USA including shipping and a bit of import duty. but worth every penny in terms of comfort and practicality. I wouldn't be without it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big thumbs up for it (which is why we stock it!) http://forums.pigeon...oting-seat-l67/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangled99 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I use a big blue barrel like the ones used as pheasant feeders and I just put a swivel seat on top which I got from ebay as they are used for getting disabled people in and out of cars. Nice height and comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
