Re: Tripod for shooting ?
Couple questions you may want to think about.
Weight
Standing, kneeling or prone
Weapon interface (clamp, lock, rest)
Price
If you are looking to go prone on a system look at how low it goes and what it takes to do it. Swing arms etc....

Re: Tripod for shooting ?
I made mine from an old camera tripod and a detachable trough of PVC pipe. I flattened the center part of the trough using putty covered with leather.
Under 50 bucks and lots of people have used it to hit a 12" steel plate at 300 from the standing position.
I use it when hunting in Johnson grass.

+1 for these guys. I ordered a tripod and cradle for my rifle and the tripod came with a manufacturing defect that allowed one of the leg notches to close up and they immediately took care of it for me and were very easy to deal with on the phone.

Re: Tripod for shooting ?
I have and use a small PRS tripod w/cradle. It works great! Its lightweight, and fits in my range bag. Its adjustable to shoot anything from my AR with a 30rd mag, to my .308 bolt gun. I have used it in prone shooting and from a bench.
That being said the DCLW is a great looking system, I just have not used it before so I can not comment on it. But I dont think you could go wrong with either system.
Good Luck with your search

Re: Tripod for shooting ?
I have been a huge proponent of the PRS Tripods from Danel Jenkins for a long time. I have used both the small and medium tripods with Danel's rifle cradles, as well as for my LRF and spotters. They are well-made units with the man behind them being one of the finest people you'll ever have the privilege of dealing with. The medium, in my experience and opinion, offers the best range of flexibility in terms of being able to get very low to the ground for prone shooting/observation all the way up to sitting and kneeling (around 46" or so). The medium is also lightweight and compact enough to fit into a range bag, drag bag or pack with ease, but yet more than able to support a heavy-weight rifle setup.
Now, while the DCLW tripods are definitely very nice and offer some incredible features, their price tag doesn't lend itself to every budget. That said, if you can afford one, they are definitely worth your consideration!

Re: Tripod for shooting ?
I also have a dclw but i stopped using it for rifles and i am actually using it for my spotting scope and rangefinder. i love it! fully adjustable. its pricey but worth it IMO. you can add rails and its just cool. pheonix tactical has a few still i think.

These are excellent tripods and they are nice and light and will fit in your drag bag.

Re: Tripod for shooting ?
I can only speak of the one that I use.
I have the PRS Large with cradle, and I it is bad ass!! I can go prone, sit, kneel or stand. For a tripod that will go as tall as I am and still allow me to go prone and is light as hell. I couldn't be happier with it. By the way, Danel Jenkins was a hell of a nice guy to deal with!!
PRS Large all day long has my vote.

Re: Tripod for shooting ?
I always rigged up my own, but I have a PRS Large on the way from Platypus.
I tried to get ahold of a DLWC for several years. I think this left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth regarding them.
