Default RE: thinking of starting to shoot 3D...

A folding stool is a very good choice for use in 3D tournaments. We build them in our shop for shooters and sell them for $29.95 ready to use. You can build your own with a few simple items. First, get you a folding stool that is comfortable when you sit in it. It needs to have a fairly straight back so that it doesn't get in the way of your arrows when you carry it or sit down in it. next get a couple of golf bag tubes from Wal-Mart in the sporting goods section. Cut them to the length of your arrows from the tip to about an inch or so below the fletchings. You will need to get a pair of them. They are usually about a $1.00 a piece. We use camouflage duct tape to secure them to the legs of the chair and to make a bottom for the arrow/golf tubes. Secure the tubes so that they stick out the back of the chair when secured to the folding legs of the chair. The arrows will stick out the back of the chair and not get in the way when sitting in it. The chairs that we build come with carrying straps on them and have a small compartment underneath the seat to carry extra supplies/ food etc. Wal-Mart,Bass Pro Shops and many other sporting goods stores carry these chairs and they are very handy. I use mine at all of the IBO and BHA shoots that I go to and have not carried a hip quiver since building mine. It is very helpful when you want to carry a sandwich or snack along to munch on while waiting at the stake. I even rode the ski lift at Snowshoe the last few years while carrying mine and it has never been a problem to use.
Good luck with getting started.
