Great chair, but not for an all day hunt unless you add a cushion. I had to purchase a cushion at Cabela's for $69.99, cheapest they had the day before opening day.
It's quiet and the gun rest position is perfect. Be careful when strapping it after breaking it down. The legs and other parts came loose and luckily caught it on the way out of the woods.

I haven't used it yet but I think it is going to work out pretty good. This is the 2nd chair I ordered. I 1st went to my buddy. The only thing I think they held back on is the spot where the back rest pivots. It is a simple light bolt it is supposed to adjust on. Pretty weak set up. I can't even make it work - positions to lock in. But I don't think it will be a problem to correct this. I think this chair will be handy for a number of different shooting opportunities.

This also has: adjustable seat angle, adjustable extention for extending the gun rest further away from the seat. It does rise and lower for those who asked. Both arms adjust outward for left or right handed mounting. The lowest seat height is approximately 14.5" so it's good for short legs and even kids. Push button leg adjustments for the legs, so they may need wd40 to keep them from rusting in place. It comes with a strap attached to keep it closed when transporting, but the arms and legs come off so they will need to be packed separately. The cushion is a bit eh... and the cover doesn't completely encase it, so mice and wasps may find a home in it. The back height isn't great for the reclining position as the metal hits in my neck area, so a bigger man wouldn't be comfortable either. It might take a zero chair pillow to help pad that, but I'm not going out in the ice to get mine to try it. It also reclines a bit too far, but it does take a bit of pressure off, you just can't get comfortable because of the back height not being tall enough. Plan to add something.
Pros:
- 14.5" sest height
- 360 rotate
- Angle seat adjustment
- Adj leg height
- Adj arm length
- Adjustable shooting height
Cons:
- Back height lands in the neck
- Cushion not completely enclosed
- Weight to pack n carry, it's a blind chair
Best Used for:
- Blind chair or range chair

After checking out several brands for shooting chairs, I must admit that the Benchmaster impressed me the most. Has a comfortable enough seat, isn't too much to carry, is sturdy enough to hold my weight (195 lbs) without falling apart, and is easily affordable. My knees also appreciate the fact that I no longer have to squat to bag my game! Do yourself a favor, get Benchmaster.
Pros:
- Comfortable
- Sturdy
- Easy to carry
- lite weight

I couldn't be more pleased with my chair works like a charm only found one fault had to add 1/4" lock-washer to adjustment-bolts because of my weak gripe I couldn't tighten them. Now it works great. well worth the money.
