Title: Freestyle 720 Hunting Chair
Post by: Mojostick on February 27, 2011, 03:47:00 PM
Anyone ever see or use one of these?

I like the claim of 20 second set up and it looks like it folds into backpack size.

I sat in the 360 chair and really liked it, but it was too heavy and big for my tastes.

This chair with the back looks pretty sweet. There's a video in at the bottom if you scroll thru the pics...

Looks cool.  I've been on the look out for the right ground hunting packable chair and have yet to find a comfortable, light chair.  Any idea what it weighs?

I found a video from the ATA show. It's not super light. It's around 10lbs, but comes with backpack straps.

Then again, I use my Hunter Specialties tripod chair and that's a bit over 6lbs.


I do like the ease of setup/takedown. I emailed the company for dimensions when closed up, with the backrest. I wonder if I can fit it in my Day One backpack? I'll post more as I learn more.

At least by looking at it, it's about the closest thing to what I've been looking for.

Looks interesting.  I like the way the seat swivels on its axis as well as the cantilever arm swinging on the center post.  It would really give you a lot of mobility while remaining seated.  Assuming all those moving parts don't start squeaking with age or cold weather.

I wonder how much leveling can be done with the telescoping legs?  It would be nice if you could adjust the angle of the legs for leveling.

Mojostick,

You say you sat on a 360 chair, but thought it was too "Big & Heavy" for your taste. Hmmm...

A 720 Stool is "Larger in Dia." when folded up and basically the same "Weight" as a 360º Chair, especially, "if" you can find a backrest for it!

The 360º is the size of an Office Chair when set up, and has a full size backrest and adjustable lumbar for all day comfort. The 720 Stool has a flat bench seat, and a small backrest if you can find one. Which is about half the size of a 360º Chair.

So you are basically saying, you personally like a chair with a less comfortable seat pad and smaller backrest? That is also harder to carry and pack in?

Don't you find it Funny how everyone wants to compare their stool to a HuntMore 360 Chair!

Should have bought a HuntMore!

Posted this else where.

Scheels has the 720 and the huntmore in the store right now. The 720 didn't have the backrest and definitely would be needed. I sat in both and to me the huntmore won by far. The 720 squeaked like crazy when I was moving around. Definitely not good. The seat didn't give much at all when sitting in it. It felt fairly stiff. The 720 seems larger and more cumbersome. The huntmore was quiet, comfortable and didn't seem to take up as much room. If I was going to spend that much on a chair, I would go with the hunt more.
