I have been using my camera tripod for a crossbow rest. Works great. Light, stable, adjustable for uneven ground, hand to take pics after the kill and best of all, payed for.
bowriter, that is a great tip. I have an old tripod hanging in my garage that is never used anymore. I will paint it up since it is still very shiney and start taking it hunting. Thanks for the tip.
Greg, aka CancerFighter, brought me one a couple of years ago since he's aware of my incredible shaking powers. He even took the time to glue some felt to the top. It works very well!!!
