CJNAZ Report post Posted August 16, 2016 Curious what the ground blind community uses for seating while they are in there for extended periods of time. Do you use a stool or low seat? Do you use a regular camping fold-up chair? Looking for ideas to prolong my time in the blind without fidgeting around too much. Too many times in a duck blind and tree stand with my Dad back in the day and being told, "you'd best sit still or else!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cramerhunts Report post Posted August 16, 2016 I use a low seat specifically built for blind use. It swivels, comfortable, and most importantly quiet! I also use a packing blanket on the ground to minimize noise which helps alot too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted August 16, 2016 i spend a lot of time in a ground blind. do yourself a favor and just get a comfortable chair that doesn't squeak when you move around. the ones that are sold specifically for ground blind hunting are terrible if you plan on spending more than a couple hours in the blind. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you get a good one. I spent over a hundred hours in mine last August/September and wouldn't trade it for anything. I tried some of the cheap ones first and agree they are terrible.

wildwoody Report post Posted August 16, 2016 I also use a ground blind swivel seat with a back rest and adjustable leg's. Your gonna suffer sum no matter what. But make sure its quite, last thing you want is a noisy chair blowing your shot after sitting 100+ hrs 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest oneshot Report post Posted August 17, 2016 Since my ground blinds are all made from local brush/dead limbs, and i don't care to carry the extra bulk of a chair, all of my ground blinds have a carefully made bench-type seat made from flat rocks. I use a small foam pad, sold in wal-mart as a "gardening knee-pad", if needed... If you choose to carry/use a chair, make sure you can draw your Bow without the Bow hitting seat, if it has arms it will restrict the angles you can shoot from... a comfortable seat is not putting your body in a 'proper" form for shooting a Bow without quite a bit of movement... and practice shooting from the chair...

cramerhunts Report post Posted August 17, 2016 Anybody ever listen to headphones while in the blind? I've tried it but cannot get over the feeling that I'm missing something. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector Report post Posted August 17, 2016 That was my thought, hate to not hear something coming in and not being ready and able to shoot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
