[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2239220, member: 113003"] Well I’ve been tinkering, reading, and coming **** close to pulling the trigger on a whole new setup....I used to play a lot of golf and when my game was sucking my motto was “throw money at the problem”......but I’ve wised up a little and didn’t give in to the temptation. I did notice that my arca clamp that sits on the ball head was slightly loose....I can’t believe I didn’t catch it before. So I tightened it, and Viola’, it seems steady. Unless I’m caught walking in or out of my hunting area, I’ll always be seated when I’m behind the rifle. In that position, I can rest my trigger side elbow on the arm of the chair or my knee......which is pretty solid. I also played around with the weight hook on the bottom of the center post. I don’t wanna carry a 10lb weight everywhere I go, but I did experiment with a string looped around my foot. i push my foot down and the string pulls the tripod tight to the ground.....sounds a little funky but it serves the purpose. I do think I’ll be leaving a 10lb plate in all of my blinds. The weight hanging from the apex does seem to add another layer of steadiness. [/QUOTE]
