revolver use on a tripod?

[buggz]

Anyone use a revolver with a tripod table and rest?
I'm wondering about the cylinder flame.
Can't just use a blanket, I will guess that will get burned?
I was thinking that bag type rest would also get burned?

Use a leather chamois or something slightly heavier to protect you bags.
Then use the bag(s) of your choice.
I would check POI changes (If any) from your different field rests at your further hunting distances, so you don't have any surprises there

Thanks Ernie, you are the man.
Do you have any bags, and/or tables in mind?
I will start searching...

There are a bunch of folks who are better than me...
Use a solid tripod, if you go this route.

That would definitely work too.
I forgot to mention that one-Thanks!

I pack in for most of my hunts. I leave the big shooting rests behind.

This is my field shooting method

I’m fully retired…..so ignore the shop logo😁

Any ultralight glassing tripod will work with the method I posted above…..or any other tripod.

Since I'm a little physically challenged I use my long BogPod as a walking stick with a PSR rest on top. Might seem a little strange, but works great for me. I've used it in Africa, many of the western states and full time in WV. I shoot XPs, Encores, Contenders, semiautos, and large revolvers (.454, .475, .500) off it. One or 2 shots from the big revolvers have not affected the PSR. For more shots I put a piece of elephant hide under the cylinder. I use the same hide when shooting off my backpack.
This system has worked for 20+ years. Never had problems with it or saw a need to change.

That deer have some whitetail blood in it?

This one in video?

All we ever saw there was Mule Deer, but I guess it is possible.

This PSR rest is discontinued?
Having a hard time finding favorable results...

Yes, for some time now too.
