Packable shooting tripod for daytime predator hunting

[skip189]

Have a Sirui Carbon fiber as well that I use for glassing. Never really did any long distance shots in hunting yet. But I do imagine I'll need to at some point. So my question is... with your Sirui... realistically what distances do you feel it's "Ok" for in terms of "long distance"?

AND... does that mean with the rifle "clipped-in" like on an Arca-Swiss type attachment? Or, just in general, like if I were to twist my Outdooorsman's Pistol Grip on it's side and just use the lil sweeping radiused cutout to rest it upon. My figuring was maybe 200-250-ish? That sound about right to you?

Appreciate your time.

I would say I feel steady and confident out to about 300 but beyond that I feel like the tripod is to light to keep the rifle steady if needed to shoot out to 500 or so as just breathing or slight movements are noticed in the reticle when shooting out that far. I installed Salmon River Solutions Arca/Pic rail on my hunting guns so I can clip them into my tripod for shots that I may not be able to use my bipod for, or I just carry my tripod and no bipod on the rifle.

I like my reaper grip with slik tripod. Not as light as some but not overly heavy. Also, it sets up perfect height for me by extending all legs- no messing around in the dark. I tried the new field optics research tripod that is comparable to a RRS and it was too short. I am 6’1”. So keep height in mind.
