COOSEFAN Report post Posted September 2, 2010 the tough ones are always the best. good going. jim is there anything holding your rifle to your tripod or is it just balanced there?? It actually slides in fairly tight against the handle and the 15's thus acting similar to The Claw. I usually carry my tripod with it's legs already out to a point so that all I have to do is drop it, slap the rifle on it and slide into it without having to adjust anything other than the head. This is important if I feel a shot may happen fast and has been the difference in me or a client killing a critter or missing the opportunity. I carry a separate tripod with shootin forks and sticks for the long shots but seem to use my 15's and big tripod more times than not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
