Same as taking a quality picture.

Most have pivoting type head. In fact if rifle is already up probably quicker then gettinf rifle out of corner of blind

Will that pivoting head move over to the opposite window, or a side window? Maybe if you are sitting on a swiveling seat with the rest attached in the middle of a huge deer blind. Being able to have shooting skills other than shooting off a rest is a plus.

Can you pick up a camera with a big tripod and move it over? The easy factor depends on size of blind and rifle barrel length.

while I don't use the cadwell system I have used a 3 leg tripod with kicker for the butt. Small blind it can get tight, but works great if not in a blind over looking draws, feilds etc.

For some really long shots I have used a my go too vangaurd bipod in the blind supporting the butt.

That bipod goes every where I go, I also use it for my camera

Sand bags for the windows bout as far as ill go.

We use a small sandbag just like at the range. My blind has a "shooting shelf" right below the window. Sandbag rests on the shelf; rifle rests on the sandbag.

I've used corn stuffed into a doubled plastic grocery bag. You can recycle it and feed the deer.

I just put the sling under the stock, works great for me and no scratches. There isn't a place in our blinds to put sand bags... and with two people sitting in a 4'x4' blind with a 26 inch barrel long action, if you can fit some kind of rest in there your trickier than I.

Good comparison actually. I don't use a tripod or clamp on my camera in the blind either-for the same reason. I would not have gotten several of my photos if I had been. I just rest it on the windowsill of the blind.

Same with the rifle. 2 of the 3 good bucks I have taken from my blind were very quick opportunities that I would have almost certainly have missed had I been messing with a tripod or even bipod attached to my rifle. (The shots were out side windows.)

It's a trade off no doubt with either rifle or camera. But one I am willing to make.

I have one of the field pods, and although I haven't hunted with it, I have done a lot of target shooting with it. I guarantee there is more to it than just squeezing the trigger. I can shoot much tighter groups prone with sandbags or a bipod than I can with the field pod. The field pod is good, but it isn't rock solid, the shooter still has to be plenty steady with it. The only reason I haven't tried to use it from a blind is because the windows are too high for the field pod to work.

Dog-eared sand bag for the window and a Primos Triggerstick Monopod between the butt and pistol grip of the butt stock for inexperienced shooters or long shots. I had a friend who had never shot long range dump a cull at 389 yards with this set-up. I killed a doe with a neck shot last year at 487 yards. That is the longest shot I have ever personally made on an animal. I would not have attempted it without that set-up. Most of the big deer I shoot as soon as I can, no time to mess with my sand bag and triggerstick.

He actually shot that buck with a g20 10mm at about 15 yards. I just remember that the field pod was in the background of the picture.

That's a BSR cull buck BTW. Definitely not one of the "nice ones"

I use the window sand bags that Academy sells.

This is a simple rest that is fast to use and very steady for accurate shots.

Where you hunt your not taking long shots.
