I decided to design  a simple but effective chair that the hunter can use for various applications and this is the design I decided upon. “Simple and effective”.

• Ideal for game viewing

• Very nice for photography

• Springbuck or other game culling stool for trucks rear

• Night hunting Jackal / Rooikat stool

• Sighting in stool for rifles

• Any other applications that it would suit

The stool is compact and 61 cm x 61 cm x 69 cm in size / 10 KILOGRAM
Folds up for easy transportation if needed                     
Rotates completely
Has a battery holder underneath to house a small battery
Has an extra tube to put in an extra torch handle
The Rifle “V” is adjustable on the upright to suit a taller person
The stool is designed in a way that a CD player etc can be mounted in front of the shooter

The chair is spacious and not cramped, overall its set out for easy use and hunting comfort.

The CD player in the square box is an extra I made to test my personal chair out, it is fitted to the rifle rest in a way that it is just a nice height in front of me, and the amplifier is above it. Then wires are on the left and the speaker is mounted behind that set up. The amplifier is compact and the complete set up is wire free. Everything is in front of me and not confusing. By mounting the Cd player to the stool helps as when the sound is playing and the chair turning it makes it sound like an animal is actually moving around from a distance as the sound waves change all the times, so by having the cd attached to the stool makes it all seem far more natural at night. This sound system is NOT part of the chair when purchased.

The red light is just left or right of the rifle rest and fits into the tube, the wires go down the pipe and to the battery at the back situated under the chair. I use a small 12V battery personally. The area is big enough to house such a battery. These batteries can be bought at any security shop that sells house alarm systems, they are rechargeable.

This photo shows how small the stool can become for transportation or storage, it is extremely solid in its completed state and being of compact design is far more user friendly. When I travel from one spot to another at night I simply anchor the seat so it don’t spin around in circles when  I drive, I leave the sound system attached and the lights in holder, it is totally safe and they wont fall out.

The set up is very user friendly and the chair can fold up if you want to take it in a vehicle to a venue or walk with it in the bush. I personally mount it on a truck with two strong thick struts across the trucks rear, and a support beam in the centre. It also has a few strengtheners underneath. It then gives me excellent vision and height for the chair to swivel completely. It is a basic chair designed to work for the hunter or even game viewer.

You will notice in front of the sound system I have a small red light, that is a cyclists or joggers red light they use so people in cars etc can spot them; I use that also at night. After I shoot and climb down I put it on to flicker, so if my hand held torch dies I will be able to find the truck again. Don’t laugh; once I walked far from my truck and my light died, this is when I learnt that trick fast! These are all just extra things I use to make a hunt more enjoyable.

If you want total stable seating take a large truck tyre and rim deflated and put it in the bak at the back of the truck between the wheel arch on either side, disconnect your car battery and weld the chair to the tyres rim, then connect your car battery again. Now inflate that tyre and it will inflate and get wedged in between your arch, no ways will it ever move. You now have a stable rest and the chair will never move around, only swivel as it’s meant to do.

I have designed and manufactured lights, game calls and electronic calling equipment for years now, but decided it was time to do something new for 2007/8 and get into the personal side of the hunt, as the more comfortable we are the better our success will be.

PLEASE NOTE; the stool comes standard with the swivel base, rifle rest and battery holder. This is how it is supplied. It does not come with the other extras shown. If you want lights for it look under our prices here http://www.africanpredator.com/prices.htm    it has the equipment you will need, scan to the bottom of the PRICES section and you will see some photos of the lights. I have designed a new style hunting light for 2007-8 it is seen under PRICES. The lights are made to fit these chairs perfectly.

If you have long legs then you simply mount the chair higher from the floor on your truck, so no matter what your size is the stool will suit you.

Sometimes I don’t use two lights on the chair, a large scanning light and a rifle light, I just use one, it is not necessary to use two, sometimes I use just the light on my rifle, then it is with me the second I need it. But some guys use the light mounted in the pipe and NO rifle light, so it depends upon you. In the picture it depicts both.

Note in this photo with the chair facing you, you can see the battery under the seat, and large light fitted. These lights we make especially for this chair.

Pricing

I decided to price the unit according to the market value of ranching today with labour and material costs also including advertising costs, these can be mighty heavy, a quarter size ad black and white costs R3000 – R6000 a go so it is expensive.  The labour as you can imagine is hard and it’s not an easy occupation making such a stool. The retail price of the stool is R1800-00 excluding the courier.
I normally suggest the client uses GOEIE HOOP VERVOER at telephone numbers.

Cape Town 021 - 5275400 (This is if you want unit picked up at my plant) they know me as all my cages made for clients are picked up here.

ORDERS

For ordering call me at 0824853885 and after the amount is deposited into the bank account I will give you an order number, then you can contact the courier and they can collect the stool here. I don’t give banking numbers on the website as I don’t want clients putting in money as I may not have any stock left! So by calling me I can tell you that number and the stock situation. After you instruct the courier to collect your stool they will call me for a time to collect it. Payment for the stool transportation will be paid by the purchaser on your end on delivery thereof.

The courier will ask you size and weight; it is 61 cm x 61 cm x 69 cm tall, with a weight of +- 10 kilogram.

I do not discount ANY of my items for dealers as all my equipment, lights, hand calls, electronics are made by me and I cannot afford to discount anything.

GENERAL ----- IMPORTANT PLEASE READ


I do not give any warranty on the stool or any cover at all, the reason is simple, the purchaser may abuse it, leave it outside to rust, not give it a little oil now and again, and it seizes up or rusts, or simply damages it, so it is out of my control, so you are purchasing the stool as is. No warranty given or implied on any part or function of the stool. But not much can really go wrong with it as it’s not like a motor vehicle. Feather & Fur also does not take any responsibility if the stool arrives damaged after delivery. The staff here at the plant will be witness that it left our premises in perfect condition.
