hawkfanz Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 sometimes just any green type either cos of wind or rain just throw a camo net over it and peg it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I have an ARGOS special that cost £9.00 years ago! I mount it on a long bankstick so it is high enough to shoot from standing up and use guy ropes and pegs to hold it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I have a few different size ones that I have picked up at Boot Fairs or eBay over the years. All are the heavy duty covered, tilting, fishing brolly/bivvy types. The smaller ones I use slightly upright (like a mushroom) so I can stand/sit under, with a camo net draped round it, mainly for wet weather and good for crows. The large ones (50+ ") I use in open fields, or where there is limited back cover. I set it up on the tilt, the back of the brolly touching the ground, wrap round camo net and I shoot sitting down. This does give you a forward and side shooting perspective only, but it works well. These large umbrellas have a fitting that I slide on to the front right and left ribs on the brolly. I can then screw in thick adjustable bank sticks which make the brolly stable and enable me to lift the front of the umbrella to the height I need. I can use guy ropes to peg down my brollys, but rarely need them. A couple of the smaller brollys have guy ropes and pegs built into the top of the brolly.

The fitting are called storm pole attachments, they screw into long bank sticks or 'storm poles' to lock the brolly down and make it stable in strong winds, hence the name.
