    I was going to make one but then a deal came up on Cabela's that was too good to pass up. You could just about convert a camo bivvy bag and beach chair.

    I imported one from Cabelas,came in at NZ$300 dollars. I got the Northern Flight elite. There was an article about homemade layout blindx in NZHunter a while back. From memory they used the brown plastic mesh you can buy from garden centres and wove plant material in it. Then get one of the small beach chairs with almost no legs.

    I picked up the tanglefree on special, think it worked out around NZ$280 landed. The trick is to watch for a really good special. Add on 45% for freight and do a currency conversion.

    Cabela's have some good deals at the moment. Might be worth looking at.

    Isn't shooting ducks laying down just a little bit lazy GM?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
