Whatever works for you is what I say. I'm just glad that young people are shooting actual rifles out in the actual world.
Yes sir.
Now, do you happen to know the make of the tripod in the pict you posted?
No idea. Just a pic I grabbed, lol. Looks hell-for-stout, though, and mostly carbon fiber so probably fairly light, too. I chose the pic because, besides the tripod, it needed the Millennial with the pumped arms and tats to provide a proper example of those pesky young folks who can't shoot worth a damn.
