Max distance for hits on 8-10” plate every time? Not sure I mostly shoot at 300 for practice.

Here is my 12y0’s target at 300 doing some practice last summer. She was pretty consistently hanging around 1moa.

Pros? I set my kid up and she dropped her first buck at 303yds with a single perfectly placed shot, she was able to use a sitting position and shoot nearly as well as prone. Works similarly for adults. Binos from standing off the anvil is great

Cons, you have to pack it. In the past I typically packed a tripod for binos and used a bipod, total weight isn’t any different. It’s slower to setup than a bipod. But then again the ability to shoot very steady from standing is worth it imo.

I’m pretty sold on the tripod
I was at the range a couple months ago and a young woman was there with her dad. They were practicing before her first elk hunt. They tried a set of shooting sticks first. She was having a hard time hitting a 10" plate at 100 yards, then her dad switched her over to a tripod. That made all the difference in the world. You should have seen the smile on her face. She was cute and dressed in her camo as well. I say use what you are comfortable using. Use what works and practice, practice, practice...
