Shooting tripod options...

[GcG166]

Looking for a tripod mainly for coyote hunting and i cant decide what to get. I was thinking one of these from cabelas:

https://www.cabelas.ca/product/125541/bog-death-grip-clamping-tripod
like the idea of something like this having a firm grip on the rifle.

https://www.cabelas.ca/product/102567/primos-trigger-stick-gen-3-jim-shockey-tall-tripod
these seem to be faster to set up.

will likely be used mainly in a sitting position.

any thoughts on these? other suggestions around the price? what are others using/liking?

The Primos Triggersticks is very quick to adjust, much quicker than tripods that require each leg to be adjusted separately.

You can always built your own using an old wooden hockey stick just cut it down the middle, very strong....

If you scroll down a bit on the page you can see the one I made (the green looking tripod pic) using a small hinge, works great from a sitting position...

Do you have the "death grip" version or one with the V style rest?

V rest

V rest

do you find it to be a solid rest? is there any movement in the legs when they are extended?

jim-shockey works well for me - Doubles as a walking stick

Was leaning for the bog pod until I got to lift bith in store today. The weight difference pretty big

It's been with me on a hunt or two, but I have never put it to use in the 6 or 7 years that I've had it.

Interested in selling it?
