That little Vixen has traveled the world with me - Europe - Africa - Asia - South America and has killed everything from jack rabbits to mule deer here in the good ole USA.

Thank you sir...really like the looks of that Vixen!

You beat me to it!  Ditto re the vixen.

Any way to use the pod to shoot up as in a tree squirrel hunting?..can you shoot a handgun off it?

Nasty, I believe you would have to be some kind of contortionist to shoot up into a tree with the Field Pod. Maybe if you are small enough, you could make it work.

I think Al is correct. Tried to see how much elevation I could get just last night.  Came nowhere close to what is needed to shoot a squirrel.  Likewise with a hand gun "no can do", you might be able to jerry rig something.  AR, Shotgun, Rifle, Crossbow no problem.

Maybe you could shrink the back 2 legs down then swivel it up to get close. But like Al said I don't think you would be comfortable with the shooting position.  :nono: :nono:

Had it out to the range this past weekend. It was windy & we were only shooting the HMR's out to 20yds. The Field pod worked just fine & Diane thinks it's gonna be a keeper in the groundhog wars around here. I liked it too. It does adjust easily enough that within a minute I had it re-adjusted for me & my rifle.

Yeah I like mine also.  I'm not to mobile anymore and I get the "shakes and twitches" a lot so I can see this as a plus for my style of deer hunting.

Yote Yoda seems to get set up fairly quickly on our stands.  He uses it a lot while sitting on a turkey seat which is pretty low, but has no trouble adjusting it.  He has had it long enough now to be pretty used to it.

I sure hope it helps you get out more Mr John. Maybe you will get to lay the smack down on a dandy buck with it this Fall!!  :biggrin: :biggrin:

Thanks Al. If it works on coyote stands then it should work well when we're just setting out in a field waiting for the next contestant in our groundhog derby!!  :biggrin: :biggrin:

There is a NIB unit for sale in the classifieds over on the FoxPro Forum. $90.00 to your door.

I think I paid less than that for mine through Amazon.

Could be, John P. I don't have a clue as to price on that item. Just passing along the info.

IF memory serves me correctly I paid right around $75 thru Amazon shipped. They sell for $100/$125 on the shelves here. So that $90 isn't too awful bad.

Maiden voyage with the 204. No shots fired on this set. However I did tap the 1st one out using it with the 17HMR in the other thread. The hay fields are being mowed down now & the beans will be popping soon. They are late being planted this year. Right now we're using rimfires for the most part til the open fields are ready. So I anticipate this field rest to be a valuable component to our adventures. Especially if I can find some shade to set in. It's a bit shiny for my liking.

Am I the only one that hadn't seen a picture of Glen's .204 prior to this?  I have heard about all the kills and seen some of them, but I really don't remembers seeing this stock before.  Nice!

Jerry,

I think that is Diane's .204?  She just let Glen set it up for her. :innocentwhistle:

So that would be the reason that we don't see any scratches on the stock.    :yoyo:      :yoyo:      :yoyo:      :highclap:      :highclap:      :highclap:
