[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 1600534, member: 37460"] I use both type heads depending on the primary function of my trip. I use a “Jim White” pan head almost all the time though when I’m in the field hunting and even at the range on occasion. I hunt out west primarily and use 15 Swaros and one of their spotting scopes as well. Jim White passed away a few years back and the “Outdoorsmans” bought the rights to his fluid pan head. I also use a Outdoorsmans tripod which is rock solid and very lightweight. You can see it here along with their fine quality tripods. Personally I’ve never felt steady enough taking a shot of 800 yards at deer off a tripod setup. I’ve shot numerous Coues bucks over 600 yards (691 longest) and they’ve always offered me the time to get setup in a solid position to make the shot. I can’t speak to competition type shooting as I’ve never done it but I imagine time is critical in your setup. [URL]https://outdoorsmans.com/[/URL] Good luck, Joe [/QUOTE]
