Thread: Who uses a tripod to hunt / shoot from?

Tentman, the issue has nothing to do with ability to adapt or discipline, it is the method used to adjust the length of the legs. Mine are an older set and have metal spring loaded pins that locate into a series of holes on each leg. You need to adjust both legs on the same side at the same time which is cumbersome and noisey, and once you have done it the quad sticks are no longer at the correct height for you to use as intended - instead you are half crouched behind them when on the side of a steep hill, and this is not an ideal stance for shooting accurately.

I’m sure one of the professional night shooters is donging rabbits to 200 yards, but I’m also sure he is not having to adjust the leg length for each shot because he is shooting on a steep hillside - which is what I said they are not ideal for.

Sorry I wasnt trying to "get at you" but just pointing out how any gear needs a lot of adaption and consideration as to how to best use it.
