3 gun cart help

[1911vm]

I have  a friend who has difficulty walking and uses a walker.  He refuses to give up shooting and I want to help him some how.  Does anyone one have any ideas? Thank you in advance

I saw some guys using old jogging strollers at the last match.  Seems like a stable option. Not sure how to get the long guns attached, but I'm sure the angle of the seat area would work.

if you are talking about configuring a cart... what I did was to remove all the canvas, and utilize only the frame... a double long gun mount for an ATV attached to one side rail  was a Coleman from Tractor Supply...to attach my range bags I use lightweight carabiners hooked through split rings attached with a pair of plastic cable ties... I have 3 pairs of mount positions...typically the one just in front of the wheel axle is used... my soft sided cooler attaches via bungee hook and sits on what was originally the foot rest... the carts push very easily, and would probably be an option if he just needs help with balance...mine is a 3 wheel with a non swivel front... I'm an old guy and use a folding metal stool that fits down the opposite side... the stool is tall enough that you can roll off it, and not have to bend your knees much...if he needs help to actually navigate the stage, other than any time restraint (most of the local clubs have a 300sec max stage time) a wheeled walker with seat, possibly with some wheel upgrade should probably work...

The three most popular options that I have seen, are:

1. Repurposed jogging strollers – This is a good option if pushing, rather than pulling the cart works for you.  Consider the terrain that will be encountered.

   1. Here’s a link from this forum, with tips and examples for DIY versions.

   2. If DIY doesn’t suit your friend, he can buy a purpose built cart, but it is a bit pricey.  Here’s a link:

2. Folding Utility Carts – This is a good option if pulling, rather than pushing the cart works for you.  Again, consider the terrain that will be encountered.

   1. Here’s a link:

3. Two-Wheeled Dolly – This can be pushed or pulled.  While any dolly can be used, the purpose built dolly, from CED/DAA offers a lot of bang for the buck.  It comes with a foldable stool, which may be useful during extended waits between stages.  It also includes an umbrella.

I hope this helps.  Good luck!

Thank you guys for all the input. But I may have not explained my self to we'll. I have 3 jogging strollers. A single one. A double 1 and even one for triplets that I built as a joke for 3 guns.lol 

My friend actually using the walker during the  stage to  get around. What I am trying to do is somehow combine the walker and the jogging stroller.  That way he can have all his gear on board.  Some times he even needs to sit down to finish the stage.

That's what I call determination!  Take a look at a cowboy action shooter's cart.  That wold be much better for this type of application.

How about a Rollator?

Got one for my wife (broke her ankle recently) and it works well for smooth surfaces.  For rougher terrain, look for one with larger wheels.
