Does anyone "Not" get along with their Huntmore chair?

[Mudd]

I haven't read anyone who didn't have a positive accounting of their use of the Huntmore chair.

I was just wondering if anyone had a different take on them.

Not looking to bash anyone or anything, I just want all sides of the story on this product. The only thing that I've read that could in any way be considered a "con" is its physical weight.

Thanks in advance!

God bless,Mudd

PS:I am starting a Huntmore fund for myself and I want to go into my purchase with my eyes wide open.

Mudd, I just got ine this summer and they sure are comfy.  That being said, I'm not sure how I'll get along with it in actually hunting with it.  I like to go really light and unincumbered.  This chair does not fit that description....so we'll see.  I'll probably use it just for selected set ups.  I typically like to be mobile and able to quietly move as needed.

Well, after I unpacked my chair, I found to my dismay that one of the three straps that holds a corner of the seat to the U-shackle is totally unsewn and useless. This is the first time I put it all together since I did not need it since purchasing it earlier.  Not a happy discovery at all after paying $200 for my seat    :(   .

If you get ahold of scott, he will make it right for you.

Like Grapes said.......call Scott
He will replace it at no charge. That's the first seat pad I've heard about that has had a problem.

Where did you buy it? Online? If you bought it from a dealer he should be able to supply you a replacement also.

X10000000 on calling or emailing Scott.

I e-mailed him last night.  I bought the chair while away on a trip--about 6 1/2 hours from me so going back to the little shop I got it from is not doable.  It will work out I'm sure.

I think I'll begin a search for a used one. I doubt I'll have much success though, they are just too new on the market to have many used ones as yet.

But should I stumble across one then I could try to get a trial at one for something short of the whole $200 bucks plus shipping.

God bless,Mudd

I've also heard (no first hand experience - too expensive) they can be noisy when you buy them.  Standard fix is 'send it back and they will make it right'.

Jim , I wrote to Scott about the new washers and clips and he sent them to me "FREE" of charge and even pd. the shipping as well...If you don't email or P.m. Scott about any concerns then you can't expect a problem to be addressed if one comes up...I noticed no noise from mine after adjusting the bolts like the instructions explain but I did write to get the updated washers and quick buckles and they sent them...Can't beat that kind of service...Now as far as weight I'll tell you like Mike Mittin explained it to me in a P.m. he wrote last year when I asked about it...He ordered one for his Dad and his Dad "Huntsmore" with him and the weight may be a problem if you pack it several miles in rocky terrain etc..But if you hunt an area and say you go 1/2 mile or a mile then it won't be that big of a deal...It comes with a duffle bag and I'm quessing that Scott has heard much on the weight issue and possibly working on a lighter model...As far as the "Quality" it's built to last ...Yes some issues might show up like the sewing issue and I would bet my Huntmore chair that when Scott reads this thread he would replace that seat pad for "Free"...God Bless, Keefer's <")))><

I'll weigh in if I ever get it.

Great chair, I've got two of them. I hunt with one and the other one I keep at home to sit in while I eat my grits and eggs in the morning....   :rolleyes:

Well some people may say I'm on he large size, and when I set the legs higher I notice one or two slide back down to make the lowest setting. Other than that it is quiet and actually not that hard to set up.

What is the weight capacity?  I’m a little heavy and heavy people need to know.
 

I tried a shot out of one, once.  It must have been the wrong height for me, because when I leaned forward to shoot, it put the hammer down on my boys.  I can get that to happen any time for a lot less than $200.
