Since I'm a pretty good sized fella, I use a regular sized Directors Chair or Hunting Chair from Wally World. They're big and comfy and I've been known to take a nap or two in 'em while waiting on a Deer to show up :shock: :D

You're in a blind, on the ground, you might as well be comfortable!
Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. Gen 27:3-4

That chair is the only one i use! You will find out yourself that all chairs are not created equal. The light weight design and strong tubing[built for hunting] Also if you shoot a bow you can draw back easily because of the triangle shape! well worth the money!The most important part is the height that you sit[with back support] for proper blind shooting.

I use a Trophy Ridge folding chair. It's not a stool but a small chair with a low back that folds to fit into a carry bag. It's small and light so it's easy to pack in and it's pretty comfy as well. I usually just strap it to the side of my pack without the nylon carry bag because it's a noisy proccess to get it out of the bag.

I use a folding, camo, director's type chair also. The one that has the flip up tray and cup holder. I put a knitted hood on the tray and keep my camera, Ipod and range finder on it. Something swivel would be nice but I spend too much time in it. It's hard to nap on a swivel. :D

The Crossbones blind has shooting rails. For the other ones, I'm done messing with mono-pods and bi-pods and knee-pods, I use a tri-pod now. One less thing to grab and steady.

I can attest to this....yeah...that's right...I sent a bolt right through the corner of my blind, right under my shooting window. The worst part was that it tore my zipper apart. I could see the deer fine with my scope, but when I released it scared the hell outta me when my blind shook. :oops: God that's embarrasing.

On the upside, I missed the deer and it won't happen again.

Since then I too have been using one of those black tubing fold out chairs. Pretty cozy.

As some might call me cheap I consider it resourceful ..

I only use my blind for turkeys and I use a swivel fiberglass boat chair that I built a small base on it. It is the perfect height and swivels with little noise and has a good sturdy back for those long sits. Only negative I have found is that it can be a little bulky for carrying if you have to go long distances. Being that I have next to nothing invested in it I tend to leave it in the bush if Im hunting the same location or area.

I use nothing but the Huntmore chair; expensive but well worth the price; will last a lifetime; good luck.

I have 2 of the folding 3 leg stools with backrests. These are taller than most (can't remember the brand name) and work great inside a blind.

Very comfortable to sit in and lean back in -
just don't bend forward to pick something up off the ground if you have a normal male anatomy. :shock:
