Regardless of the type of rifle hunting you do, and how long you’ve been doing it, there will always be that little bolt of lightning when you spot your animal. It’s go-time, and you want to be sure you make that shot. The adrenaline that you’re feeling will affect your body in numerous ways, one of which is to increase your heart rate. As your heartbeat becomes bolder, this can introduce unwanted movement into your reticle. The best way to counteract this is with support from a tripod. New from Vortex, this is the Switchback Carbon Fiber Tripod with ball head.
