Waldrop pac seat
« on: October 11, 2020, 10:11:20 PM »
First season with pac seat.  I’m impressed.  Hunting spots I previously wouldn’t have considered.  Makes hunting unpredictable winds easier.  Very quiet, light, and well made.  I’m more likely to hunt days with limited time.  I would previously talk myself out going due to the effort of setting up a treestand.  Like any new tool still learning how to use it properly.  Great guy to do business with.

Been using my PAC seat for about 7-8 years, great product and very comfy!!

Nice looking seat.  When you shift positions on the seat is it quiet?  Most aluminum legged and stretch fabric seats I've tried do not pas the quiet test for me.  I currently use a backless turkey seat that is quiet, but I miss having a back to rest against.  I have to sit next to trees - both standing and downed - to be comfortable for long sits.

Looking at the website it looks like a solid set up.
I have one serious question though.  Do you set up a natural ground blind, tuck back into a cedar or something?   Because the deer I've hunted (only in four states) really wouldn't miss a person drawing a bow, sitting in a chair by a tree, regardless of the camo or gillie suit you wear.  At stick bow range at least.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

No noise with shifting weight or moving into shooting position.  There are others with far more experience with them than myself, but previous ground hunting experience without the seat seems that movement is the main thing they key in on.  This seat is so comfortable it really minimizes movement, which has been my problem in the past kneeling, crouching, etc behind structure. Need front and back cover the pic was more of an observation sit.  Too open I ended up moving to a more concealed location.  May try using an Apache pyramid blind with it, but I hate to complicate things.  I carry an asat leafy suit in the fanny pack.

Love mine, have been using it for years. Most comfortable, quietest, easily transported seat I have found. Just like carrying an old aluminum frame pack, it has comfortable shoulder, chest, and waist straps, and you can attach a sack to it to hold your stuff, and when you are sitting in it, the sack is conveniently accessed. You can also mount a quiver to it. Great design, and very practical.

Just had one show up and will take it out back to shoot from it.  I think I'm in love.

I'm really thinking about getting one now that I am on the ground.

I like mine. Very versatile.  Mines old and has developed a squeak that I need to resolve.  I've killed deer from it with other weapons.  I've had deer, coyote and a bob cat within 8 yards and haven't seen me until I missed them. The bobcat was 4 yards I didn't shoot at him and the deer was 3 yards but I couldn't shoot at him until after he walked off. Both the deer a d bob cat were at Kenny's in mo.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Really looking forward to taking this seat for a test drive.  Hopefully will get to hunt it soon.

Found sweet set up this morning for the pac seat.  Has been great addition to the arsenal.  Unhappy with treestand sites in this location.  This snag is perfect back cover for the pac seat.  I apologize ahead of time but I’m going to attempt to post picture correctly.

I really love mine too. But....I’ve been using it for a couple years now and it has developed a really bad squeak. I replaced washers on it and it helped at first, but now it’s back to squeaking badly. Anybody have any recommendations?

David Waldrop is very responsive I’m sure he’s dealt with Squeaks before.  Give him a call.
