    Rifle strapped to pack and one trekking pole until I get to my hunting ground. They are excellent for slippery creek crossings as well a steep slippery tussock.

    Yup, i carry a carbon innorel tripod now for glassing and shooting off. One leg easily screws off to use as a trekking pole. Great for tops work too for setting up a fly

    Grandpamac, a mate of mine used to hunt with an Eberlestock pack that had a scabbard for his rifle which ran centrally between the harness and the pack itself. I carried this for him a few times and...

    I use them, and dropping one down to a short height when glassing to rest the binos on, really helps

    Got him to measure the drop at 200m and it was 18cm so that worked out to about 2380fps~ which is closer to the last shots. Only a pro chrono so not very trusting
