Shooting Seat Sticks

Much of a shoot day is spent waiting. Standing at the peg while the beaters work through a drive, watching a flightline for pigeon or sitting out the last light at a flight pond all take time, and tired legs soon take the enjoyment out of it. A shooting stick gives you somewhere to rest wherever you are, without the bulk of carrying a chair.

Shooting Sticks and Seats Explained

A traditional shooting stick seat has a spike at one end and a folding seat at the other. Push the spike into the ground, open the seat and you have a steady perch that takes the weight off your feet. Shooting sticks with seats are also popular with spectators at country shows, point-to-points and game fairs, as well as with beaters and pickers-up waiting for the next drive. Some designs fold flat for carrying, while others double as a walking stick between drives.

Choosing the Best Shooting Sticks for Sitting

The best shooting sticks for sitting depend on how you will use them. Think about seat size and comfort for long waits, overall weight if you will carry the stick all day, and height, particularly if you are tall. Adjustable models let you set the height for your build, and a wider ground plate stops the stick sinking into soft ground. Leather or padded seats add comfort, while aluminium frames keep weight down. Umbrella seat sticks combine rain cover and a seat in one piece of kit. Our range includes shooting sticks from Bisley and Gamebird, among others.

A Useful Addition to Your Kit

A shooting seat is one of those items you will wonder how you managed without. It suits older Guns, anyone with a knee or back problem, and pigeon shooters who need to sit comfortably in a hide. It also makes a thoughtful present for the shooter in your life. For more support on the walk, take a look at our walking sticks with seats.
