My wife and I have used the cheap swivel three legged ones for years. Pieces and parts would break and I would cannibalize previous broken ones to make them work again. I hated how they always sunk in the mud, the feet would break off when it was cold, the hubs would crack when we leaned on them too hard, the springs would dislodge when trying to adjust the heights and if I forgot my add on butt pad, I would get my boys pinched when I would lean forward to shoot. Now I know that all that makes me sound like a sissy, but Huntmores are really comfortable.
