shrek Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thought i would add these photos of another "little" project i had back in the summer (what small summer we had anyway). On a personal note im not stupid enough to sit in it whilst lamping (far comfyer in the cab, im the driver anyway, however the seat was dug out of a scrap yard and came off an OAP stairlift, therefore it has a seatbelt!!!! dont know what plod would say about it tho hahaha!! My lamping partner assures me its the best lamping platform hes ever shot off! Just looking forward to any of my mates getting married, as its going to be a top quality tar and feather, and parade through town peice of kit hehehe I shot this one out the window, as my mate was sitting up in the seat, with his rifle..ready!! The magazine however was in the glovebox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrek Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Haha, yea it does get rather chilly up there! however i had a thought after i posted this thread last night, if you legally have to have one foot on the floor when shooting deer from a vehicle, would this contraption be legal to park up and shoot deer from...... of have i just opened up a can of worms regarding shooting from a high seat in general????? not that i am going to shoot deer from it as i havent got the ground conditions or the deer to warrant it! What are the legalities from shooting from a vehicle in general?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 You would be ok stopped anyway. Just dont go on the road with anybody in the seat though as Mr Plod would be able to fill his book at your expense, in fact it is illegal to go on the road with anybody in the loadspace as it is not deisgned as a passenger carrying part of the vehicle and has no seatbelt or safety features, local milkman found that out a few months back.

PeteL Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Hi Shrek, Nice bit of work, very neat and tidy!. All it needs is central heating and double glazing. You could box the front and sides with light plywood so as to cut down the draughts a little, I suppose. Is there room enough for the shooter and a lamper or does the lamper operate from the cab?. WRT shooting deer, if the vehicle is stationary with the engine off, I would think that it is no different from a normal high seat. I am open to correction, but I don't remember anything in the Deer Acts which forbids shooting deer from a vehicle - only using a vehicle/aircraft to drive them - or summat like that?. Anyone?.

shrek Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 PeteL I donno about the law regarding vehicle use, i was told that if shooting from a vehicle that one foot had to be on the ground however i could have got the complete wrong end of the stick! Regards the lamping, most of the lamping is done by me in the cab, however i have got a direct 12V link from the battery to the pick up bed so the unfortunate soul sitting in the ice box can also lamp, and we both use scope mounted lamps anyway so when it comes to taking the shot the shooters got control of the light, nothing worse that someone, especally an inexperienced lamper ###### about with the lamp beam when your trying to line up on charlie!!

Redfox Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Your foot onthe ground has nothing to do with it, the original rule was you had to be out of the vehicle, but now you can shoot from the vehicle providing it is stopped and the engine off, so he is ok.

JC275 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I think the 'one foot on the ground' rule applies to snooker rather than shooting! JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
