Caldwell Deadshot Field pod

[JohnP]

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. 

[Okanagan]

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?

[possumal]

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.

[JohnP]

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.

[nastygunz]

Thanks!

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.

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.

[JohnP]

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.

[HaMeR]

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!! 

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!!

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

[JohnP]

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

[possumal]

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

[HaMeR]

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.

Jerry,
I think that is Diane's .204?

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

Yeah I don't take enough pics of the ol ot4. I'll have to remedy that.
