My Bucket is broke

If you need something pretty short and with legs that don't look like they'll sink in easily.....maybe something like this from the hardware dept. at Walmart might work?
The worst thing that could happen is that you'd end up with an extra step stool around the house.

I have a shower stool. It has a plastic seat with adjustable aluminum legs. I'm a big guy and haven't had sinking issues yet.

Not sure, but your palm rest looks too deep for Hunter Class. Specs say nothing forward of trigger guard lower than 6” from barrel centerlne.

I will measure my wolverine. I would think Daystate would have considered that but will measure. Thanks

Wow....things have certainly changed since I last shot Field Target...cant believe all the rests that are now allowed !! Back in my day the rifle had to be supported by your body only, no other supports other than a sling. Looking thru all the FT pics posted, I see more rests in competition than I use for practice and sighting in. Ifvyou folks used fewer rests you would find your offhand would improve greatly as you would learn better holds with less muscle and better breathing techniques. Compared to the olds days it appears to be portable benchrest shooting. Not bashing here just an observation...

OLSPARK,
Not your gun. The deleted account guys gun had a forend riser block that is common for open class guns, but too deep (it appears) for Hunter class.

I'm a bucket guy, I've tried the tri-stools but the seats are just too small for my....ample girth. This seat looks promising, it says not available online but I live relatively close to a BP so I'll look next time I'm there.

I use a shower stool. They are lightweight and come in various designs to compensate for the size and weight of your butt, and it's nice to be able to adjust the leg length to compensate for uneven terrain.

For HFT, Center of barrel to bottom of forearm is limited to 6" or less but per the rules you can use a pad or riser 2" or less. See below. Riser can help with odd hand shot sometime. Depends on your setup.
D. Knee pads or other forms of padding or RISER placed between the arm, thigh, knee, leg and/or rifle may not exceed 2 inches in thickness

I created my own based on the attached plans. I had one of the A-special camping stools that the legs bent on the second outing. The dowels will never break (short of getting run over in the parking lot), and you can get the rubber feet at the big box hardware stores to help on the wet / muddy days. I ended up using the same fabric seat and it works great. One day I will upgrade to the leather.
Good luck.
