I only ever used my tripod for my binos and for the one tripod stage (SAPRL provided tripods if you didn't have one)
I don't think you'll be at any disadvantage if you didn't have one.
This was an absolutely amazing field match with a wide variety of shooting positions and views. SAPRL has completely upped their game, by far the best shoot I have been to in Alberta so far. I can't wait for the 2 day.
Thanks you Chad and Shawn for setting this up, you guys knocked it out of the park. A big thank you to all the RO and Match Sponsors.
