Been away for a while, seems like there used to be a restriction on the height of the seat used for hunter class.  Is there anymore, and if so, what is the height limit?

Also, is HFT still limited to 10x scopes?

16X

Any seat as long as it doesn’t have a back!

They did away with the 15" maximum seat-height rule a few years ago.

We had a fellow here in the SF Bay area that had back problems, he made a seat using two large kitty litter boxes. Height? About four feet.

Or arm rest.

Cool, thanks for the responses.  Last I shot FT was at Oak Alley in Ashland maybe 5 or 6 years ago, so wondered if rules had changed since. 

Thinking of how to pack stuff over the course and with a bum leg now.  I once converted a luggage rack so it had a fold-down seat and a box under the seat to hold all the pellets and various stuff we packed along.  But turned out the wheels were too small for any rough or uneven terrain.  Then I just saw this the other day;

At first I thought it was the silliest thing ever.  But the mind has a way of working thru things over a few days.  Might actually be handy for where I deer hunt, and maybe it would be adaptable to HFT use too. Have to take the back rest off I guess.

Also been looking at golf bag carriers too, for possible conversion.

Some of the open shooters use a converted baby carriage
