This review is not designed to get you to buy our shooting cart, but we will be very happy if you do! We hope to present an objective view of the different options available to the shooter today so that you may make an educated decision. I invite the makers of the other shooting carts to provide their input.The Ray-Vin, Schneller and FirstStrike all use the 12-1/2" pneumatic tires. All the carts fold flat for storage. Ray-Vin:
Initially designed to be added to existing stools, we have had so much call for the complete solution that we have coupled our Roll Kit with a popular stool and bag. Our parts all clamp onto the stool without drilling any holes. Credit for this design lies with Lowell Kenney of South Carolina. We copied his axle and handle and added our own quick release handle clamps and rifle rest hooks.
I may be biased, but I think the Ray-Vin cart is the best value for the money.Schneller:
Bob Schneller makes an excellent cart. However, the price is over $200 after you add the bag of your choice. Some nice features of the Schneller are the offset wheels that give good balance while towing and the offhand table. The Schneller cart features stainless steel tubing, but pays the price in additional weight.FirstStrike:
This is the RV of shooting stools! Quite heavy, but if you want to have everything with you on the range, this is the one to get! A cushion seat covers your bag and optional cooler! Many options are available for rifle racks and scope mounts. Clicking on "FirstStrike" in the table below will take you to the FirstStrike web page.Creedmore:
This is another cart in RV catagory. Lots of hauling capacity. Very much like the First Strike cart in size and configuration. Visit the Creedmoor site for more information.
