Cranfield Posted November 4, 2002 Report Share Posted November 4, 2002 There was something very similar to this at the Midland Game Fair, it mght even have been the same bit of kit. Votes against: Difficult to swing the gun round. No all-round vision. Only one window section opens at a time, or the top comes off (bit like opening a boiled egg :( ) No ground fixings. A sudden strong wind and you are upside down in the next field. £124.95. You can by a lot of cammo netting for that. Votes for; Give all your mates a laugh. Prove that "there is one born every day". :thumbs: :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead-eye-dick Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 :thumbs: Do I get the feeling that you are not in favour of this Cranfield...?? I would have thought, that at your age, one that "pops up in 5 secs - guaranteed" would be a god-send...!!!! :( :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernyha Posted November 5, 2002 Report Share Posted November 5, 2002 A couple of years ago out shooting over rape with my mate,a guy came up behind the hedge we were shooting from and told us he would be shooting the rape field behind us.(It was another farm to ours) We exchanged pleasantories and he went off to set up.We had noticed a lot of birds dropping into his field and we envied him a bit as we were getting a few shots but nothing to write home about.We were staggered to watch him set up one of these 1 man jobs in the middle of his field and first impression was of a portaloo in a carpark!It resembled a brown beehive on a green football pitch.For the next couple of hours we were firing away like cowboys and had some great sport,but the guy in his one man tent fired about 3 shots and he soon packed up.Good of him to scare the birds over to us and have looked for him to set up near us ever since but no luck.This should give you my views on the hide. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeVeTaS Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 I still laugh when I look at it! :( :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flightline Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 i think you might be charged a fee by the landowner or be directed to the nearest campsite. and isn`t building an almost invisible hide all part of the fun? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdowns hunter Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 Ideal for bird watching I think (If you are a twitcher) and I suppose ok for airgunning if you set it up where you would be shooting things on the ground but hardly suitable for shotgunning :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeVeTaS Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 I'll stick with camo netting and poles I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeVeTaS Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 I'd rather park the Skoda in the field and shoot from that :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
