Tripod Shooting

[Eaglearcher20]

I apologize for the uneducated question, but here it goes. Locally I am only able to shoot 500yds and on occasion I can make a 2+ hour trip for 1,000yd. Right now I strictly bench shoot my custom 300WM and 6.5CM.

What I am wondering is if shooting from a tripod may help me improve my general accuracy by throwing a little more instability in to the mix forcing me to focus on consistent fundamentals. Is that a rational thought or am I way off base?

Short answer yes but to me a tripod is used to make a stable position. You could also try using something like a ladder or bucket or what ever you have laying around and try building a stable platform off of it. Even if its just for dry fire. Get creative with it.

Thanks for the input. I am really just looking for a way to challenge myself to be a better shooter since longer range isn’t always an option. I’m not a competitive shooter. Just like to always improve.

Im a fan of trying to find a way to get stable with nothing but my rear bag and some weird positions. But i also do most of my shooting on a ranch so i dont have the limitations of a range
