I just got back from a 4 day scouting mission down in Kentucky, not to far Mammouth Cave National Park, and all I brought along for a chair was my Double Bull blind chair. Well, I himmed and hawwed to long last weekend at the Compton shoot, and never got a chance to buy one of the HuntMore chairs, and after two days of sitting in the Double Bull chair, I dug thru all of my gear (that I had yet to unpack), and found Scott's business card from HuntMore Chairs, and placed my order over ther phone. It was here waiting on me when I got home. It cost me a few extra $ to cover shipping, but man is this purchase gonna be worth it. I have spent many days in some of the most uncomfortable chairs while hunting, and now my sit time will be looked forward to.
Thanks Scott, I never realize how bad I need something till I don't have it. All it took was me sitting in one at compton to make me realize it. After Scott showed me how to adjust it, it's now the next best thing to my recliner. Maybe a HuntMore recliner would be a huge seller for the guys who really like to rough it. LOL
Who else has had a great experience with the HuntMore chair?
Scott installed the upgrade for me, walked me through the set-up and e-mailed to make sure I was happy with the service. It is whisper quiet and by far the most comfortable hunting chair I have ever owned. :readit: :thumbsup:
You can't go wrong with those chairs...they are a little expensive, but they are the best if you spend any amount of time in the field.
expensive is relative. If you add up all the money you have dropped over the years on other chairs that are not comfortable at all, it would probably be double this one's price. I just wish I would have heard about it years ago. It would have saved me a lot of money, not to mention be more comfortable over the years too. It never pays to nickle and dime your way to anything.
Grapes is correct...comfort is the key and a few dollars extra for that is nothing in the sceme of things.
Still waiting on a HuntMore chair I ordered and paid for months ago! Delivery date now pushed to end of August. Now I see some guy on **** has 10 of them for sale. Q: What's up?
M
How long does it take to set up and take down?
How quiet is it to set up?
Thanks
A
It takes less than a minute after the initial set up. The first time I set mine up, I had to adjust the seat to fit my arse, then after that it is simple, just clip the seat on, sinch the rear strap, and slid the back rest on and then your hunting.
um that's expensive !! Nice - but WOW
It only takes one.... I am concerned with Huntrxy's situation.
All of the accolades in the world means nothing to someone in Susan's position.
I think I want to order one myself maybe but never as long as there are people who have paid their money and haven't gotten what they paid for.
That's where I stand!
God bless,Mudd
PS:Huntryx have you tried calling Scott?
Huntryx, call Scott and let him know when your season starts. I'm pretty certain he's getting chairs out to people in the order their seasons are starting...give him a buzz.
Here is a copy of the e-mail I received from Scott today.
__________________________________________________
"Roy,
Thanks for the email!
I just got the latest ETA on our current seat pad shipment that we're
waiting for!
We will start shipping late the week of Sept. 8-10th or the following
week based on how quick the container clears customs.
It will take us at least a week or two to catch up with Pre-Orders we
already have in house! and continue to receive.
If you want one of our chairs for this hunting season I would not delay!
Scott"
__________________________________________________
Now you know as much as anyone...or at least as much as I was told.
God bless,Mudd
I certainly like mine. It's set up for guests in my office... :archer: :archer2:
Hey Guys and Huntryx,
Please understand that we are doing everything we can to get our new seat pads in stock so we can send everyone their chair! and that we are more frustrate than you guys! I want to sell and ship chairs to everyone who wants one, on time, more than you want your chair!
Unfortunately there have been delays on the latest seat pad production, the good news is that it's going to be worth the wait! The new improved seat pads are better than the original unit!
We also have offered to any of you a Full Refund if you don't want to wait, and I will personal apologize to any of you when ever we meet at a Trad Shoot. I'm just a Trad guy like you guys who invented a better way to sit in the woods.
I've shipped a few Demo Chairs we had left to folks like Grapes, because we shared camp at Compton's. I bought back 6 chairs from a dealer to try and help folks who had Aug antelope hunts! If I can locate any other chairs out there I'll direct any of you to my dealer, but so far all of my dealers are sold out.
I promise you it's worth the wait, if it's not please return your chair for a refund! The last thing I want is a unhappy customer! It's bad for business!
Please contact me directly if any of you have any more questions, we will try and answer them.
I hoping you all end up loving your chair so much you end up selling all of your hunting buddies a chair! Our goal is to make the finest hunting chair on the market that actual keeps you comfortable and warm for hours and helps you make your shot when it counts!
Scott @ huntmore.biz
Well, you have reached your goal Scott. It is by far better then the other upteen chairs I have bought, and This one is going to last a heck of alot longer than any of those other pieces of junk have. I'm happy with my purchase, and NO, I'm not returning it. I just wish I got a chance to sit in it at all the archery shoots I go to. Everytime I go to sit down, there is someone else in it. Must be a good thing.
Guys and gals, Scott is busting his butt to make EVERYBODY happy. Keep in mind he's also running a company, shipping what he can get his hands on, wrangling stock from dealers, answering the phone and all the email, processing orders, dealing with suppliers who are 10-15 hours ahead of him time-wise, posting on the various forums, apologizing to people as customer service director, and presumably attempting to have a family life, including eating and sleeping and paying the bills.
I started a company three years ago and wear about 8 hats almost every day. I know what Scott is going through.
Hats off to this guy.
Sounds like he is doing his best to keep his customers happy. Hopefully, it works out for all involved. I love my Huntmore chair!
Huntmore chairs are the best...stop complaining about the price and start realizing that you get what you pay for...Scott's chairs are great and he really is great about customer service. I wish I was in a postion that I have sold out everthing I have produced! Great chairs great guy...give him a break!
If you order one of Scotts chairs and see it and sit in it you will see why they cost $199.99...They aren't built cheap no matter where the parts came from...Scott even sent me the updated washers ,strap clips and advice for "Free"...Not every company will do a good deed like that and offer a "money back" if not happy! Traditional Trust if you ask me ...Next set of arrows you make or buy see how much the total cost is and if you're not 100% happy see if you can return them for a full refund...I do not know Scott but he himself has responded to my emails very quickly concerning the new backrest and the correct way to set it up for maximum comfort...Thanks for a great chair Scott and for taking the time in building a chair so I can "Huntmore" ! :thumbsup:
Anyone who was on back order hear anything if the back ordered products have arrived and shipping has begun?
well i was looking into buying one until i saw alot of the material was outsourced...i buy american made from americans.....

I hear you being a Son and Grandson of union steelworkers but today its almost impossible. Your computer or TV that you use surely isnt American made, hey the most ridiculous my Dodge is probably less American made than a Toyota! :confused: Anyhow unless you live in the woods with natural stuff its impossible to buy all American. Back on point did anyone get a email that stuff is shipping?
I personly think Huntmore is a very well made seat and Steve if you look around America's work force we have a lot of different shades of skin making stuff in America....Point is the Huntmore is a product designed by an American and if it fails at least the man who designed it is more then willing to back up his product...My two daughters were made in another country and God made them perfect with His own hands and I didn't reject them because they weren't made in America! I'm sorry Scott has to read remarks about where his products were made cause he seems like an honest guy to deal with...Scott I for one like the quality of my huntmore 360 and Thank You for trying to make us have a longer sit time in the great outdoors...God Bless you Scott and keep up the good work...Keefer's <")))><
I was out scouting today and was just dreaming about all the spots my Huntmore will join me in this year. Buy what you want from who you want, if you want the best, HUNTMORE!
Just out of curiosity, I wonder if huntryx has gotten her Huntmore yet?
A "yes" answer would be the update I've been watching for.
God bless,Mudd
Heard from Scott today after making another inquiry. Shipping is now expected the week of September 20........Patience, patience......
How many of you would pay say $995.95 for a huntmore if it were built here in the USA????just what I thought... You should be happy you can get quality seat for under $200, Look around, there is nothing out there that even comes close to this seat, a lot of plastic junk for half the price and it is junk... The last time I talked with Scott, I swear he was as American as I am. If he can come up with A SEAT That is better than anything out there and has to have it built where ever so I can afford it, Thanks Scott.. I'm sure if things go well we can expect more models to choose from..
I'll be hunting from a Huntmore more this year, a little less from treestands.
Bob is right. As usual.
Scott is a stand up guy and that chair is like sitting in your living room. I can't count the number of times I have stopped by his booth at various shows to chat and plopped down in one of those chairs--and not wanted to get up. I should have bought one of these chairs long ago. Put an extra one in the truck for Kalamazoo sir.
Thanks for the update Huntryx!
I asked this question on a different Huntmore chair thread but I'll ask it here again.
If I ordered one tomorrow when would it get to my door?
Thank you!
God bless,Mudd
Let me preempt my comments by saying that I am not trying to offend anyone by them. I am sure that the Huntmore is a fine product. I just cannot see paying $200 for a chair in this modern economy, especially with some outsourced products.
Bob, you asked if some would pay $995.95 if it were made in America, and that you were OK with it being built elsewhere so you could afford it. Even if it were completely built in America for the $200 I wouldn't buy it. Not because it isn't a quality product, but because I can't fathom the idea of paying that much for that type of item, let alone afford it. Is it this type of thinking that has people legitimizing sending jobs overseas? I will spend good money on quality products, American made as often as I can.
I will end with food for thought. What percentage of American hunters do you believe can "afford" an item like this? Just my .02 cents, and hopefully no one offended. Mark
Flatlander37, I am not personally offended in any way by your opinion and I also think I understand your point.
Maybe you're correct in saying that this product isn't something a lot of bowhunters can not afford to purchase. But how is that different than what type of vehicle we own to drive us to our hunting areas?
I can't afford a 4 wheeler but a lot of folks can and do use them. I can't afford a 4wheel drive truck, lots of folks can and do.
Do I believe that $200 dollars is a bunch of money? Yes I do! I also know that I have issues with my back that could use something like the Huntmore chair. (based on some of the testimonies I've read on here)
I think it just might help me to be able to hunt with less pain and I will save up out of my meager SSI(very limited resource) and spend it on the chance it will help me.
I personally don't care for the price but it is what it is and I have decided that it's a worthwhile investment in my hunting future.
If you feel that the price is gouging the buyers and users, I respect that as your opinion but I also respect the builders right to put his own price on his own product.
I personally will make whatever sacrifices I have to make in order to get one because it's my choice and my back needs the help.
Mark please understand I mean you no offense and I do respect your opinion. I thank you for sharing it!
My 2 cents worth.
God bless
Roy L "Mudd" Williams
Roy, No offense at all bud. I am not saying anybody is gouging anyone on price, and you know that I am a state worker of limited resources too, thanks to our governor.
You are correct about the price, as it is what it is, and if people want to buy it they will. If it helps you like you stated, then it is well worth every penny!
I guess what I am saying is that I can rationalize paying a reasonable price for a good product, preferably made in America to help out fellow Americans. In my opinion what is reasonable is defined by ones own limitations, be they financial, moral, or the spouse that tells you NO. Heck, maybe my back just doesn't hurt enough yet to justify buying any of the chairs on the market!
P/S: I am looking forward to trying to get together with you and Butch sometime and shoot.
Mark
Any time you want to get together for stumping or whatever just pm, e-mail or give me a call.
Season is on the verge of breaking out so we could even get together for a hunt or two.
I have lots of land to hunt(all public) but it's still good. I'm open to coming your way also.
God bless,Mudd
PS: The ghuillie is smoked, the "on-the-bow blind" is on the bow that's getting the opening call. Once I touch up my broadheads I'm ready!
When one gets older comfort while hunting is important. Comfortable portable chairs that are durable are hard to find. The 'hunt more' is a good adjustable chair, it still weighs I would bet nearly ten pounds. That is something to consider when heading out a mile or more into the woods. If you leave it sit, chances are someone will take it. I like the rotation aspect, that does come in handy. You could always spend a week or so on a bucket, then when your chair arrives the rewards will be all that much sweeter. There is a bucket out in some public land I hunt, no one ever steals that.
Mudd,
If you would have ordered a stool from me! I could have had it to you in three days and the shipping is included.
I just sold my last one and I am getting more in from Scott as soon as I get my order in.
Kevin
I sure would lik one, but just cant spend $200 on a chair. Ben sitting on milk crates for free too long I guess. Mike
I had mine in the back yard tonight, my sons (6 and 5) and I shot out of it for a little over a hour. We took turns shooting one arrow and then letting the next guy shoot one till all of us shot 3 arrows. Then I sat down, and the kids went and got the arrows for another round. All 3 of us were hitting the target with authority from 15 yards, and I do believe the HuntMore will be joining me on a hunt to "The Intersection" we found a couple weeks ago on a friends property in Upper Michigan
Just hunted a full day of doves and was quite comfy, even with my skinny butt. I LOVE the swivel aspect and pretended I had my bow in hand moving silently L or R, stock height was perfect. It's not tiny by any means and you need to set it up a couple of times to get it just perfect. I'd add an extra pad to the seat if you're prone to get a sore rear end due to lack of padding, but that's about it. Lower back was not even tired! A day in a cheap/poor design chair that's too low and has no real back support will let you know! I'll probably set mine up, and leave it out where I hunt as it's private property. Love that chair!
