[QUOTE="ptrlcop, post: 1005490, member: 84910"] I've been hunting out west for 18 years and other than being in big timber I can't think of a situation where I could not get to at least I high kneel for shooting over obstructions. In the timber I don't carry a shooting aid because God provided us with trees to brace off. I've shot standing off numerous tripods. The only one I would do so on game past 200 is a carbon fiber manfrotto which is $$$$$. I do not like using a spotter from standing as the wind always gives a bit too much vibration. I use a tripod both for work as a police sniper and for hunting. I'm pretty solid with it from a high kneel. If I can get as low as sitting, I put my pack in my lap to support the rear of the gun and my firing arm. With that method I am 95% as stable as prone and can spot my own hits.

It's not the most stable and no way I cam spot hits. In a field situation I could make a better shot from a sling supported kneel in less time and spot my own hits. [/QUOTE]
