[QUOTE="drw3900, post: 1249936, member: 68869"] Take a look at the Javelin Kapita Tripod system. Obviously long range shooting requires stable rest of both the front and rear of your gun. There is no seated position that gives you that stability like the prone position UNLESS you have equipment to support both the front and the rear of your gun. I am sure some hunters can get to a good position moving their pack around and situating over the course of several minutes but it is never as good as if you had a couple of bipods or some other equipment. Because of the way this Javelin Kapita system attaches to itself and your rifle you can use it so many ways. It converts from two trekking poles to a front monopod, bipod, or tripod. I like putting a bipod on the front and using the third leg as a monopod for the rear of my rifle. It is a rock solid setup. They even make a device you can flush mount in your gun so it is never in the way. I can go from a spotting scope on a tripod to a bipod on the front and monopod on the rear in seconds because it attaches via magnets that fit and hold securely in place. Similarly, I can be hiking using my trekking poles and go to a solid standing position over a monopod, bipod or tripod in seconds. The best thing is now you have two trekking poles, a tripod for your spotter, a tripod for your rifle, a bipod and monopod for your rifle or binos [B]and it all weighs just over a pound. . . [/B]. I'm looking for the best equipment to use on some sheep, goat and bear hunting adventures i have planned over the next two years. I think this is the cats meow for solving the most important part of the pack puzzle. . . getting all the stability you can justify hiking with [/QUOTE]
