Gotcha I'm trying to buy once cry once, I want the setup to be as solid as possible.The 33 has thicker legs, if that’s what you’re asking, and is rated for more weight if that’s relevant. I don’t know that you’ll see a stability difference between them spotting and shooting.
The 22 has a fairly specific use case and for everything else the 33 or 34 makes more sense.
Do you think the difference in stiffness is negligible or enough I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the 22 and the 33?Technically the 22 will be stiffer than the 33 and the 33 over the 34. Less joints = more stiffness
I own a 34 for ease of travel/packability and tight field shooting positions.
Personal opinion, the thing the 22 does better than the 33/34 is deployment speed for glassing or to take a kneeling shot fast. Again, Less joints = less flex but the stiffness you give up on the 33/34 is not worth the loss of versatility.
I think the 34 is the most versatile followed by the 33 and the 22
Reverse that for Speed of deployment
With perfect form you might see a difference on paper from the first position.Do you think the difference in stiffness is negligible or enough I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the 22 and the 33?
10 4 thanks, I'll be on the lookout for a TFCT 33 with anvil.With perfect form you might see a difference on paper from the first position.
Through the lens of shooting a match or shooting in the desert with my buddies I don’t want to give up the versatility of the 34 for a tiny more amount of stiffness.
I wanna get a 22 in the near future but I see it more as dedicated support for speed than versatility. Halving my pick for a rocky / hilly match location I’ll always grab a 33/34.
That said I know some really good shooters running 22s off scabbards and slings.
There is no size fits all, gotta pick the tool that will fit best for your shooting but the stiffness of the overall system to me would be a secondary consideration
