[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 1696556, member: 8915"] As a kid my dad made tripods for us to stable the 22's so we could make clean shots on rabbits, squirrels and rats. In the 1963 I joined the Marine Corps and everything was done from our rifle slings. Just before deploying to Vietnam I was fortunate to be assigned as a snuffie pulling butts for the Rifle team. During sighting in sessions some of the shooters would use make shift tripods. Sighting in was fast and your zero was consistent. Later as an infantryman I made my own so as to shoot at distance accurately. They made a difference when we would be attached to an Arty Battery on perimeter security. Back at Camp Pendleton in 1968 I shot in the DCM Matches on the weekends. There we used bipods and tripods to develop our dope. Not permitted once the match started. It helped allot for confirming dope at 200, 300 and 500 meters. I never forgot those lessons and have used and refined the skills to this day. It's not for everyone. So try it you may change your mind. As You can see in my earlier post I carry allot of stuff. There have been times when I had to spend the night on a mountain or out in the desert. My comfort level wasn't an issue. One point to remember: Accuracy starts with the shooter, practice often, and shoot under stress induced situations to identify your weakness. Make corrections and ask questions. SEMPER FIDELIS [/QUOTE]
