i’ve never shot off a tripod but i can see the advantages. over the years i’ve shot a lot off barricades in training and they work well for me but this is even better.
Thanks for this one Ivan. I've done an absolute ton of long range shooting, but always off a bipod. None of us have run tri-pods for anything other than spotting scopes. Honestly, My long range gun needs some TLC now, but I was hoping to get that in before summer so that I could get my gun out to a mile this year. I think you've just convinced me to branch out to tripods with this video though. The utility of being able to get over sage brush and stay stable more easily would be worth its weight in gold.
Thank you so much for this video. This is one of the best videos on RUclips as far as utilizing tripods are concerned. I will definitely pull out my tripods and try out some of these techniques. Over the last fews years, tripods have really become a major part of everyone’s shooting kit. No matter what shooting discipline we are using it for.
I wish I could justify a high end precision rig. The money is there, but I don’t get much further than 300 yards. Everything in my corner of MN Is farmland and public forests don’t have clearings larger than 150yards. ARs, AKs and battle rifles can’t be outshined at those ranges. So there’s no need to purchase a nice rig. I regret selling the last one and refuse to go through that again 🤣
A cheap or used Remington 700 a little elbow grease to polish some detail and you can still get a nice gun. And caliber like 308 or 6.5 creedmore are really good at 300 yards, or you can get a 223/300blk/6.5 grendel you get the same feel of a bigger caliber in a bolt gun but is cheap and shorter range.
@@pisacenere like I said it’s not about money, it’s about space. I can buy an AI with a Schmidt and bender. At 300 yards even a .223 bolt gun seems pretty pointless.
@@mn_rifleman i live in south central pa and i have this problem as well. i have a natural gas pipeline a ways behind my house so technically i could shoot 1000yd, its buried, but realistically people wouldnt funnel down that, they wouldnt even have any reason to go down it to begin with. but i still bought a R700 ADL in 6.5, with the primary arm BDC scope, and wayyy to much ammo for it, because i wanted a bolt gun, and sometimes ya never know.
Cool video with lots of great information. When shooting from a tripod you do not want to stand hinged at the waist. This requires additional muscle sets to be used and will alter the steady.
I shot an elk off a tripod this year while standing. It was -17F in a huge field and too deep of snow to go prone. (I mention the temperature because try staying stable when it’s that cold). I was stable enough on the tripod to take a 430 yard shot off it, but before I squeezed a round off, they came right to me. Wound up being 130 yards. I could have done it without it, but the tripod was a big help. It was a cheaper tripod too.
I’ve been researching tripods . I didn’t know about any of the leveler’s. Ball-heads Ext and was glad to see you had a video . As always very informative and a lot of the info I was looking for . I really only have 1 problem with most of your videos that’s the back ground I get super jealous you live and play in the most beautiful area in the world .
My current tripod is definitely too light duty for this. And I have a decent amount of money sunk into Outdoorsmans heads and accessories with a small camera Manfrotto I have adapted to go with them. I’ll definitely have to consider adding a larger tripod though.
Coming back to watch this video again while doing some research. Just gotta say that was sweet @5:05 when chambering another round and a puff of gas comes out the front
Today I learned, Idaho is very different from New England. A few years ago, in an e-mail chain, the Arizona wing was banging on about 1,000 yard riles, and I was like, "The last time I stood in the middle of I-91 with a rifle, it didn't go so well."
Matt Yore is a solid dude. I reached out to them after you originally showed the Dovetail for the Fix. He sent me a sample dovetail for free just so I’d have one while I wait for the batch to be done with anodizing. I will always go back to Sawtooth.
I wish I woulda been up to date on the cross country range trips. I woulda drove from Phoenix. Happy new year to you and the boys. Love your channel , so underrated. Damn shadow ban.
Well dagum this was cool to see all the different uses/positions. I can usually hit stuff (bang.....ping!!!) but I always lose the target off of recoil.
That was great. He provided a lot of good info. I have some familiarity with tripods but his application of it to shooting was a great intro. Thank you.
I was recently introduced to a Manfrotto tripod set up and an intrigued. Thank you very much, Mr. Yore for breaking the types of tripods for dummies like me. I've been mostly doing bipod shooting and sometimes standing with little support available. Thank you very much, Ivan and Matt.
I've had a RRS wannabe, $200 or so on Amazon, for years and only just now bought a clamp for it yesterday. I've been meaning to buy some arca plates for awhile now.
This dudes videos are just purely freaking amazing. Love watching his shit!!! Also do you know any good long ranges in idaho? Im trying to push my rifle out
I just ordered a shadowtech 0311G (yes they really named it that), the FB52 ball head, and the pig saddle.( wanted the hog saddle but the pig was a third of the price)
Hey Ivan sorry to bother but check your ads setting I'm getting like 6 ads on this video and I'm getting a bad experience and you are not getting any ads revenue
Dunno if you guys cares but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown xD
At 69, I’m switching to mostly tripod shooting. Trying the NRL Hunter series. In my case I’m looking mid price with 30mm legs. FLM CP30-L4 II 10X Carbon Fiber Series II Tripod $460 edit: ordered the No Name by Two Vets at the last minute.
They are great. They work across many different platforms and aren’t limited to a dedicated system like arca. Couple with a manfrotto magnesium head and carbon tripod and you’ve got a great setup for under 500.
Good information, my only wish is could you show the plates attached to the rifle that fits into the ball head. It looked to me that you were just shooting at dirt. What a waste of bullets. I am sure you could have found some old Trump/Pence campaign signs, of different sizes, to use as targets.
I see a lot of shooters use that position in competition shooting. It’s a pretty stable position. Especially in situations where you don’t have a solid spot for a rear bag. You can still stabilize rifle and slightly adjust elevation if needed.
That method where you are using the 1 leg to rest your weight is absolutely genius. Great video!
Best tripod video on YT.

maybe you could justify building a mk11 clone or getting a m110?

Innorel RT80C is a great starter w/ carbon legs. I shoot PRS stages off of it when needed.

What do you prefer to use?
Granule bag with three-legged holder
Or pregnant without a bag of granules
It's better
Which tripod would you recommend from two vets for hunting? I’m looking at the ruck but I’m nervous I won’t be able to lean into it as much

Any opinion on HOG/PIG saddles and tripods?
I have ran one, and it works with limitations but definitely not as stable as an ArcaRail mount.
They are great. They work across many different platforms and aren’t limited to a dedicated system like arca. Couple with a manfrotto magnesium head and carbon tripod and you’ve got a great setup for under 500.
Ivan, what kind of bean bag / pillow are you using in this video?
Ivan, what is your connection to Q? (the gun company)
Get some.
I get for some long distance but who wants to carry that!
Which tripod caused his finger to bleed? I don't want that one
Ivan, these grey trousers, what are they?
Beyond Certa Pants.
What happened to dudes finger?its all bloody...
Good information, my only wish is could you show the plates attached to the rifle that fits into the ball head. It looked to me that you were just shooting at dirt. What a waste of bullets. I am sure you could have found some old Trump/Pence campaign signs, of different sizes, to use as targets.
The dirt makes the most metallic ping I've ever heard, must be plenty of iron in it
Lots of intel. Delivery is lacking
😎🥩😁🇺🇸
That rear support at 10 minutes is just silly
I see a lot of shooters use that position in competition shooting. It’s a pretty stable position. Especially in situations where you don’t have a solid spot for a rear bag. You can still stabilize rifle and slightly adjust elevation if needed.
Super awkward video
L At my ass
