Something to sit on in a blind


Cooter

Recommended Posts

Would like some input on whats worked for you guys for sitting on in blinds. I usually end up too low or too high and more often than not uncomfortable either way. I don't know if blind dimensions vary much but I have an Ameristep brickhouse I believe.

Cooter, is the blind there all the time, or how far do you have to walk to set it up from your vehicle if not? I have a few blinds set up all season long that are hub style like your brickhouse. I have found one of those plastic lawn chairs you can get from pretty much anyware to work the best. I bought them in a dark, drab green color. With practice, I can shoot with my back fully against the back of the chair but I prefer to lean forward and rest on the edge while shooting. It's just the right height for my blinds at least. And very comfortable versus a stool or fold up chair.

Well I normally sit on my butt grin.gif sorry had to.. I got a real nice fold up chair at gander. It's camo and has a shoulder strap, and a bag underneath the seat part to put stuff in. I also got a butt pad thing that has foam in it that I can adjust just by opening a valve and to fill it back up with air you just open the valve all the way and it expands again.

The blind won't be moved for several weeks so is more or less permanent - I'll have to check out those lawn chairs. Need to get out to Gander or Scheel's as well - sounds like I'm gonna want something with a backrest? Just as long as it doesn't interfere with shooting the bow. Something adjustable in heigth would be slick. Thanks, later.

I also use the camo chairs you can get from gander or scheels cooter. Check em out though some are a little taller than others and depending on how tall you are your legs can get cramped a bit if they are too low. As far as for shooting out the blind I have never run across a problem. Go for the comfort and price gl.

The nice thing about the hard plastic lawn chair if it is the right height for you and your blind, is that it is extremely comfortable and lets you draw and aim in a little more than 180 degrees around you. On most of them, the arm rests only come out about half way along the seat, so you slide forward and can draw 180 plus no problem. And it's nice to be relaxed and comfortable - leads to less moving around, which is what I'd when perched on a stool. With the plastic chair, I can just sit back and rotate my head slowly looking for the deer. Plus, they are extremely quiet. Nothing to move or groan when you shift around on them. Not saying the camp chairs do that as I couldn't say but there is none of it with the plastic chair. Good luck whatever you decide on!

Double Bull Blinds makes a chair that I would recomend. It's a small little chair and didn't seem that bad. I found them at scheels last time I was in there. Wouldn't hurt to give them a a good look.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
