What do you all use for a rifle rest in a pop-up blind? Do you have a tripod, shooting stick, build a rest or just rest your gun in the window and support with your other hand?

I was always used to shooting from a box blind but will be using a pop-up this year.

I might put up some 2x4 gun rests in the windows.

I have used a bi pod for close range, last year I used a Bog Pod tri pod with their 2 point rest on it with my bi pod at the rear. It was a tight fit in the pop up but very solid for long range shooting

I use a bi-pod with one that attaches to the cross bow frame, the one for the rifle is a V design. If understand the design of the bi pod it should have a slight lean to it, back towards you so that when you support the shot the weight of the rifle is into your shoulder.
I hope this helps.

Caldwells Deadshot Field Pod is what I use for Crossbow, ML, or Rifle.

I liked the regular Caldwell, but found it to be too short. I returned it and am thinking about the Magnum Deadshot.

How low does that go? Would be great for my kids. They have to stand to shoot out of the blind.

I normally use a tripod but after seeing the Caldwell Dead Shot I just ordered one as well. Thanks for posting.

These are a real winner. Been using for 3 years and it has the advantage of not having to move your rifle around - it's always up and ready. It provides an good stabile platform for longer shots too. And folds up into a compact carry.

It will work for any type of crossbow or rifle just fine - although for my A/R's - found the longer clips can be problematic - so I simply got a 10-round clip for use with the field pod.

You ain't just whistling Dixie on that. I made that mistake once - just once. Lost the hearing in my left ear for two years, and it is STILL not back 100%
