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

Practice.
They are easy to adjust the height for contour by simply lifting one side and moving it closer or away from the other. And the fact that the rifle isn't fixed to it like some tripod clamps means you can shoot with the sticks at any angle.
They may appear expensive but the look of disappointment from someone who has just missed a shot due to a unsuitable rest (which I've seen dozens of times) is horrible too.
