Wouldn't take much to lose a finger or toe! The river fish are more concerning if you ask me.

Nice fish! Ice fishing is my primary winter hobby, followed by snowshoeing.

Now you can put a splicing anchor point anywhere in the house, cause your wife can't complain about it looking ugly.

Man, those look kind of well built. How do they grip the rifle? Rubber, poly, alum, other? How much movement when on the shot? I have bipods, but they have their limitations.This hunting season I've changed some things around on my night hunting, varmint guns and various equipment related to making shit easier for my old ass. I got a couple of these BOG Deathgrip carbon fiber tripods before the season and really got to put them to use, and I really am impressed with them. Thought I'd give them a shameless plug, in case anyone is interested.

Just finished the reloading bench. Glad the garage workbench is finally free at last.

Wow that looks sharp!
River catfish from central Colombia. Mighty fine eating! The man on the moto was the community cook.

Overall, they're made of carbon fiber (legs), cast aluminum and some composite plastics, but nothing cheap and flimsy. The jaws are rubber padded, so they grip the rifles well. They're heavy enough that they stay put under the recoil of the .22-250 without moving in the jaws/clamp. Now, a .338 Lapua or a .50 BMG might be different, but I rather doubt it. The legs have a lock system for 20*, 45* and 85* spread, so you can get everything from prone to standing with them. The legs have cam locks for extension that work great. Quick and solid, no slipping. With lighter recoil guns, I found it easy to get back on target on moving critters and haven't noticed any significant movement of the tripod. The wife was shooting with the .17 HMR last time out, and says she likes shooting off these better than off the bench at the range or the bipod. We just wrapped a sheet of camo netting around both tripods and didn't even bother taking a blind. Just sat on 5-gallon buckets with those snap on seat lids. A little coyote control on a friend's milk goat farm. Was cold, but the snow kept it quiet and rather eerie. The carbon fiber legs are worth the extra bucks... they're only a pound or so lighter, but no metallic ring if you bonk one of the legs with something. That alone is worth it. Nothing sends those things running faster than the sound of metal on metal. We drink our coffee out of those aluminum thermos cups, and we found out last year that bonking one on an aluminum tripod leg sounds like the coyote "run like fuck" bell.

Like the oak leaves this is along way from where it needs to be. I still have to make a eye drift, and specialty tongs to really work it right. I decided to make a heavy hatchet/small axe just to practice forge welding. It was so much fun it’s going to be hard to actually do any tree work.. crooked as fuck, and I decided to do a bunch of grinding just to check the forge weld. While doing so the fire went out so I stopped and ate lunch at about 3pm
Still a hearty 2 pound head. After it’s done I’m guessing it will be a 1.5-1.75 pounder
