    What's everyone's tripod set up for spotting, ranging, gathering data etc, look like? I'm trying to get some ideas for next year.

    Seems like tripod stages are few and far between.

    Seems like they are used for optional rear support more than anything.

    A RRS 34 or 22i with a tac table and a game changer on top works very well.

    I have anvil 30s but not much nene fit in a match. Bag on top is more stable. Clipped in to anvil 30
    Is great fkr field shooting varmints though
     
    I use a minox spotter with a good reticle it lets me “pre shoot” the stages. Have a pair of Leica 3000s binoculars next to it for spotting and ranging also.

    Amazon has all the arca and clamps and adapters

    Two Vets

    depends on your budget
    2 sections (22i and QDT) are super convenient and much quicker to deploy if you do need to use it for a stage
    3/4 section tripods pack nicer

    you won't notice too too much of a difference stability wise (i use a two vets The Ruck which is super lightweight and it works just fine though i'll add a QDT for NRL Hunter next season)
     
    I use binos w/reticle and separate rangefinder with wind wand all mounted to a tac table, a pic is worth a 1,000

    I use a Two Vets QDT V2 with everything (binos, wind flag, range finder) mounted on a Gray Ops Hunter plate.
     
    I use a Fat Boy tripod, RRS leveling head, Grey Ops mini plate pro w/ bag, double arca tac table adapter, Tab Gear tripod shelf and a RRS bino cinch.
