shooting stool

[rjtfroggy]

Is anybody using a drummers stool that is on casters? If you are what one and are they stable enough for BR shooting?

I tried one and did not like it at all. The base was not stable enough to scoot around on. The wheels were too small for the stool. If the concrete pad is not smooth, it will not easily move around. If there is any 22 rimfire brass in the area, be ready to tip over as soon as you move. I got rid of it and went to a regular drummers stool.

It came with a seat that looked like a motorcycle seat or tractor seat. It was never in the right place when I sent to sit down. I always had to correct it. I sold that seat, kept the framework since is very solid and bought a round seat from the same company. I've been using it for at least 5 years with no issues.

I have the Roc N Soc stool.

I don't want casters on my shooting stool

I tried one and it was a disaster. Too much unintentional movement.

The 5 leg stool from Brownells is air ride up and down and a very comfortable and durable unit from personal experience. No casters. I don't want them either.

I like the drummer's thrones. No casters. I like to be able to collapse throne for trips to and from the range.

They just tip you over when you least expect it.

The best stool Ive found is a "Adjusto" stool. They were made in the 50-60's and you can find them used on Ebay.

What I use. Adjustable, light, nearly indestructible, and around $20.00

drummers stool, NO CASTORS!

Mike Ezell sells a nice shooting stool that folds flat, is easily adjustable, and has a back on it as well. I prefer it to my drummers throne.....I run about 295-300lb

I could not imagine using casters on a shooting stool.
However, maybe it's a 'Zen' thing to teach balanced external forces.
When I rowed in college, the coach would have us remove our feet from the shoe-holds, because you would *feel* the motion of the boat when not bolted in and it would clean up your stroke. Guys who put their oars in too early would get pushed back and have an oar in their back, ones who finished the stroke too early would lurch forward and hit the oarsman in front of them.

Sounds to me like he was addicted to "Keystone Cops" movies.

There you go again Steve, only thinking about yourself.

Might be stool issues with the guy in the video after that

I'm using a work stool from Harbor Freight. Adjustable height, took the stupid cheap castors off and it's perfect for bench rest shooting.

Same here. What with all the elderly here abouts (myself included) I was afraid to click on it. I was thinking I'd have to tell people to stay away from the stool softeners and the shooting stool problems would dissipate rapidly.
