How did you get into long range shooting and what was your first set up? I'd be interested to find out, bc long range shooting seems to be a bit more difficult to get into when you're starting out.
@connorstanley777 I got started in firearms when I was in high-school I was on our rifle and trap team, after I went to college I joined my colleges rifle team then went into law enforcement I never really shot much long rage beside 300 yards and in till I joined the srt team with my agency, did that for a long time but continued to shoot 3gun for years with a mix of just long range experimenting before I transitioned to shooting long range matches. My first "long range rifle" was an ar10 in 308 and still shoot that rifle pretty frequently to this day. The biggest hurdle to overcome with long range is an area to shoot long range at. You're welcome to email me. My email is on my channel page. You don't need a 4k rifle to go shoot long-range a 308, either bolt action or gas, you can get into experimenting with it. Having a Ballistics calculator app on your phone is really all you need besides a rifle scope and ammo.
Just figured I would let you know this tri pod set up is more of a hunting thing. Personally I found my precision set ups shoot much better from a bench or in prone position. Every tripod and ball mounts I have used and I have tried some spendy ones. Have all amplified movement no matter how you mount the rig in it. In my experience the best place to mount your rig in one of these set ups is all the way at the end as close to the muzzle as you can get.
@Johnny-jr2lq i will let you know I use this exact ball head on my tripod at prs matches, I use it as a rear support where I can I also use it to spot off of prior to shooting the stage. If im going to be shooting prone then I'm not using a tripod im using a bipod. I have used this exact ball head on my tripod and on multiple occasions to shoot over 1300 yards at the range. I have also had shooters who have never shot over 300 yards or never shot off a tripod use this ball head on my tripod and consistently hit over a 1000 yards. So I strongly disagree that this is just a "hunting tripod" is there a learning curve when using a tripod absolutely but I wouldn't consider this ball head on a tripod to be just a hunting tripod.
