Tripod Shooting Experience and Tips???

[Hammsolo]

Hey All, I am just starting to shoot off a tripod and am looking to gain wisdom. Jace mentioned how he hates shooting off a tripod in a recent flick.

What are the challenges and solutions you’ve come up with?

My setup is a Sirui carbon tripod that I love, and a Spartan Mlock system at the balance point. I have Mlock upfront for their bipod also. The tripod doubles with my Vortex Razor HD pack spotter.

Much appreciated, Hammsolo

I have shot off a Y yoke since I put one on a hike staff over 40 years ago.
Stix,hiking pole quick sets, and a super light tripod for Sierra hunts.
Gotten away from the super light and swively multi-versablity set ups for a stable base.
Just me.
Was gifted a Primo tripod and it is the best for what I have been doing here. Quick morning hunts. No packs.
The Sirui is for the lazer and camera now.

Practice. Ambush them.
One shot hunts are hard to beat.

I will be prioritizing prone off my bipod as often as possible for big game as usual. However, I’m looking at the tripod for coyotes and getting into NRL.
