Cheap shooting chair

[StueyD]

Hi all,

I know chairs have been discussed before, but, cheap chairs that aren't too low.
Ideal for a bit of pigeon and rat shooting.

Oh and has to be cheap.

Don't want to be dropping £150 on a chair.

What do you use and would recommend?

Cheers
Stu

Used this type for 15 years, school/collage chairs well designed, quite flat so you can swivel around as not much side lip.
I have 2 of the bases in high seats. just 2 bars welded across to stop sinking in the soft ground

May have to also steal the wheelbarrow idea.
Farm always has one hanging around, as long as I return it minus pigeons and shells

I'll ask the farmer to do it, I've seen him weld catches on a bucket. That thing must have weighed a ton...
Not refined but was solid.
I know he'll be up for it as he'll want one while we're shooting too

I use one of the bucket types, with pockets on the outside, the top swivels. So far its proved itself in various shooting situations

cheap and they fold up, light to carry. ikea special. had mine years.

Bucket seat for me. They are roughly £30 and are stable in soft ground and can help carry your kit in and out.

@StueyD
With a barrow then this time of year also not long before the barley/wheat is on the turn a 200 yard walk with kit on your shoulders over your neck keep stopping heavy battery gun poles net won't fit in a bucket seat
Then where do you put the pigeons lol

Ive tried most types of shooting seats available from £20 buckets to £90 Bergara's and the best one ive ever used is the canvas directors chair that i use now, similar to this:

It's lightweight & exactly the right height for me. I managed to get it for nothing from my local Freecycle group.

Fits in my rucksack and is the tall version of the smaller step, foldable and easy to carry.

I use a "chutney barrel" from my local indian restaurant. Free, swivel on the top works and room for stuff inside.

I use an old IKEA stool with the legs cut down so that I am effectively standing but the weight is rested.

Sorted:

Pad as you please but coordination is to be commended!

I said "stuff" not all your kit!! Does have more room than the average seat.

Yes I read "stuff" so where does your other kit go apt from the food and drink barrel (pale Ale)

Found bits of this old chair on the estate dump and turned into the below at no cost other than the paint. Intend to leave in the woods looking over a favorite ambush point. Note sensible colour!
