| Anyone use tripods when at the range? I got a chance to try one out the other day and found it different. Other than the "how accurate can I shoot" aspect, those who have used tripods, what else do you do with them? |

I use them every once in a while. Normally when prone wont work, standing is stupid and sitting isnt stable enough.
Rarely will I lock the rifle into the tripod adaptor, assuming I have the adaptor with me. For me a saddle like above is easier, lighter and faster. This picture was taken on day two of this years Steel Safari. The rifle is an Accuracy International AX in 243. A LaRue 171 mount holds the Atlas bi-pod on the rifle. The rim of this canyon is 20-30 yards away and there was a rock in the way that forced you out of prone for several of the close up shots.
