Excellent tripod - BOG Deathgrip Infinite Carbon Fiber Tripod

I use this for my grandsons and I deer hunting with all long guns and Ravin crossbow. We have now used it for two hunting seasons and it is part of our gear from now on. And when one grandson broke his wrist, he used this for deer hunting with the Colt Python. It is very durable and heavier than the competition, but I knew that when I bought it. I specifically wanted a heavier tripod to bear the weight of heavy long guns, especially for the enjoyment of pre-teen hunters/shooters. It is not cheap in any regards but I believe it will outlast me and be passed down for many years of shooting and hunting.
