Bog Death Grip Clamping Carbon Tripod Shooting Stick

I love this tripod! I have a few other tripods that came with spotting scopes and other 'heavy duty' models but they always felt flimsy. This one finally seems rock solid, stable and well made. You can feel the quality in the knobs and legs, and it's actually pretty light for such a large tripod.

I used the BOG DeathGrip Hunting Tripod throughout an entire season while deer and coyote hunting in Nebraska. It saw use from ground blinds, field edges, and open prairie where shots could range from under 50 yards to well beyond 200 yards. After several months of use in varying weather conditions, it has become one of the first pieces of gear I pack for any hunt where I expect to sit and glass or make longer shots. The standout feature is the DeathGrip gun clamp. Once the rifle is secured, both hands are free for glassing, calling, ranging, or simply waiting on an animal without having to constantly support the firearm. During coyote stands, this was especially valuable because it allowed me to stay ready while still operating an electronic caller or scanning with binoculars. The tripod adjusts quickly from a low seated position to standing height, making it useful in a variety of hunting situations. I primarily hunted from a seated position, but I also used it standing along field edges with no issues. The leg locks were easy to operate, and the tripod remained stable on uneven terrain, frozen ground, and crop fields. Accuracy is where the DeathGrip really shines. The solid clamp virtually eliminates the small movements that often occur when shooting off shooting sticks. During sight-in sessions and field practice, groups were noticeably more consistent than when using traditional bipods or crossed sticks. In the field, that stability translated into greater confidence on longer shots. The build quality impressed me throughout the season. Despite being carried in and out of numerous stands, tossed in the truck, and exposed to mud, snow, and dust, everything continued to operate smoothly. The controls remained tight, and I never experienced unwanted movement or slipping while a rifle was clamped in place. The only drawback is weight. It is not the lightest tripod on the market, and hunters covering several miles each day will certainly notice it. However, the additional weight comes with exceptional stability. For hunters who primarily walk short distances from the vehicle, hunt from blinds, or set up calling stands, I believe the tradeoff is well worth it. Overall, I would highly recommend the BOG DeathGrip Hunting Tripod to deer, predator, and varmint hunters looking for a stable shooting platform. It provides outstanding stability, excellent versatility, and durable construction that holds up to real hunting conditions. While it may be heavier than minimalist shooting sticks, the increased accuracy and confidence it provides more than justify carrying the extra weight. It has earned a permanent place in my hunting setup and will continue to accompany me on future deer and coyote hunts.

Works well for my Axe 440 crossbow. Very stable, easy to adjust.

This is an amazing tripod that comes with a pretty wicked saddle! My main rifle I use with this is a 308, that is 13lbs and it handles it no problem. I have also shot 338 and 50 off this with absolutely no issues. For the price you really can’t go wrong, does everything you need! Super happy with my purchase.

If one does a little shooting, rifle or crossbow this is really a nice addition. Allows a stable base and for us who are older, you don’t have to bend too much
