[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 2189984, member: 21361"] Howdy, I have some very precision rifles and have competed in benchrest matches for three decades. I am now facing the challenge of shooting offhand precisely. This may seem laughable to you, but isn't funny to me. The same rifle I have shot three shots off a benchrest with at 800 yards went in 1 9'16". With that same rifle I am having trouble hitting an Oryx heart/lung target at 200 yards with a deathgrip tripod. This is after one session with 4.5-6.0 winds at 10 o'clock. It would seem the first thing to do is to find out what my zeroes are now in shooting from this device, and that will be taken care of the next session. Seemingly, the most vertical this tripod can be set is the most stable. In attempting to use another bi-pod The bobbing around was truly laughable, and it is noticeably less so, when using this tripod. However, there are obviously subleties to be learned about the right tension to be placed on the rifle and how it affects your sight settings. There must be a most stable position for the shooter to be standing in to provide less wobble. I can see the potential in this device, but I am a long way right now from mastering it. I would appreciate serious input in regard to this challenge. WW [/QUOTE]
