portable canopy/pop up

[dworth]

I'm looking for a lightweight portable canopy relatively cheap to pack with me when I am shooting in the rain or very hot for shade. Prefer to be fully open, and don't need to be able to stand up under it. sitting or prone position is perfectly fine

I stress light-weight!! I am carrying 300 plus rds and 2 rifles already, shooting mat, food and basic needs for cleaning etc...

thank you in advance for your advice

Quick-Shade Aluminum Frame is great.

Are you on a bicycle? If that's heavy I can't help you.

I can't find a better one for rain or shine. This canopy will cover you very well and the adjustable wall allows for extra shade even as the sun goes down. It also is great if the wind picks up while it is raining to provide a wall of protection. It's about the lightest you're gonna get unless you go with dwalker's suggestion.

I use this little guy:


Clamped to the guy:


Gives me a shady place to sit and load mags or grab a snack.
Granted I only shoot pistol matches right now but the system has been working well for over a year and everything was sub $100.

Looks like this would work for rifle shooters too. Just clamp it to your rifle

Buy a folding wagon from Costco (or Amazon), buy two hose clamps, a small section of thick black PVC pipe and a beach umbrella. Use the wagon to haul your stuff and pop the umbrella into the PVC that you attach to the wagon with the hose clamps. This is what I use for USPSA matches. Haul your wagon to the start position and provide some shade for the RO. They'll love you for it.

Get yourself an umbrella hat and you can still carry all your gear.

Seriously... A high quality pop-up does have some weight. You will just have to make a couple of trips to shoot.
If your trying to make it all in one trip you are in for a world of disappointment.
