Millennium G100 Blind Chair...

Looks like I my have found my next chair

Great idea using the pack. The seat looks comfortable but I'm concerned with the straps that come from the back of the seat to the bottom. Seems that they could be restrictive and not let you sit with your legs opened up. I'm 6'6" and 280lbs, has anyone with a larger frame used this chair? And you if so is it comfortable?

The website says it will handle up to 400 lbs.  

The straps do not hinder leg movement. When I'm using the chair, I don't even notice the straps.

Gosh darn it, another chair, have several, one of similar cost but the legs can be a hassle, might have to invest in a millennun in 2015, sell off the other???  Thanks for posting your carry system!

[cloudbaseracer]

Yeah, I contemplated the Huntmore but the assembly is a bit more complicated. Can't beat the quick set-up or comfort with G-100.

This is a U Tube video which shows you how to attach the shoulder pads and waist belt to the molle frame.

Looks like Millenium has done a nice job with their design, low center of gravity, solid, appears to be one that could be quiet during a draw. What impressed me the most was your carry system. Excellent job Millenium would probably like to see it.   :eek:

[foxbo]

Thanks Howard. The carry system is just a molle frame and four zip ties. Of course, the frame and chair go together very well. I believe serious ground hunters will purchase this chair as soon as it catches on.

So far, I can't find anything I would change about the chair other than have the factory offer a backpacking system and easy on/off small pack as an option. Maybe even a circular folding blind equipped with stakes to surround the chair. There may be a blind already on the market for this purpose. I haven't looked. For now, I setup inside a deadfall, or have a thick bush for a backdrop for quick sets. I also have built brush blinds which work well.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I like to extend the forward leg to the chair at least one extra notch and sometimes two, depending on the ground/terrain. This gives the chair a reclined position. With the extra weight of the frame and straps, it can also make the chair want to tip backwards when you stand up. I solved this by using the same notch in all three legs or not extending the forward leg more than one notch. It takes no time to become acquainted with this condition and is an easy fix. It all depends on the slop of the terrain.

I have been waiting for a decent review of this chair. I had one of their original hang on treestands and it was the most comfortable. Since then, i have made the transition to ground hunting only. I have been looking for that perfect (or as close to it) seat.

Foxbo, where did you purchase the Molle frame from. I dont know much about them, and there are many places to buy from. I am not sure where is the best place to start.

Thanks,

Jon

Sent ya a PM.

I like what you have done. Thanks for posting. Great for turkey's in the spring.

[foxbo]

Glad you found it interesting. It is a great piece of hunting gear.

Just reread this thread and am happy to say that the G100 is still the best hunting chair I've used. I killed a nice fat six pointer with it this past fall. He never knew what happened and died about twenty yards in front of me. Also shot a nice spike from the chair with a .50 caliber flintlock and passed quite a few other deer which I did not need to shoot. A great hunting chair!

Thanks for your review, and especially for the update! I really appreciate when folks do a great job with the original post, then follow through with an update. It's a great way to either confirm or deny the original assessment. Thank you!

Looks like that is something I need to do. I will have to come up with some big feet for it, though. The land around here is sand all the way down to the water table. Put a chair leg on it and it sinks in fast.

[foxbo]

The chair has "duck feet" which do not sink into the ground. I'd be surprised if it did not work in pure sand.

I've had one for the last year . It is by far the best hunting seat I've found and I have serversl . This past fall I left it in a popup and didn't transport it but this past weekend we went on our annual South Texas Hog hunt ,we move around a lot so we all load up e back of pickup and are put out at different spots. I noticed that the fabric on the back raps around the top bar and it was wareing some when I got back i put a pice of insulating foam for plumbing and zipped in place. That should work also I've got a frame like yours that going on to. Thanks Ed

I'm happy it was helpful for ya Bob!

I have to say, I doubt when I order a blind chair, I would ever consider anything different!!!

I bought one of all places at a local grocery store with a small hunting section.   Got it for less than $170 including tax   :eek:

Used now about 3 times so far and it is super comfortable, plan to do the Molle mod before next season.  My only complaint is Millenium misrepresented the weight by about 2 pounds.  On my scales it comes in at closer to 9.5 # than the 7.5# they claim.
