I took the “V” rest off my trigger sticks and put it on to a tripod plate to use. I’ve also thought about getting a quick release pic rail clamp to do the same with.
How did you attach the sticks rest to the head shoe?

It swivels and seems well made. I've only shot off it at the range so far, wasn't as great as I thought it'd be.

The v is threaded the same as the tripod head. 5/16x24? I just connected it with a threaded stud. There are thread adaptor that have both thread pitches alsoI took the “V” rest off my trigger sticks and put it on to a tripod plate to use.

Maybe i just need to get better at resting my rifle on the tripod head. Ive see some picatiny type adapters I may look at, but probably not enough time before opener.

I'm running a Shadow Tech PIG saddle on a ballhead - very stable platform if you're shooting from the sitting position. I've got arca plates on both the spotter and PIG saddle so swapping them on/off the tripod is super quick.
Sounds like what Im after. Can you sennd or attach pics?

I got this one..I use something similar mounted on a quick shoe that works with my tripod. My 15x56 binos, spotter and V all have a quickshoe on them so swapping out takes seconds.

I was hoping there was some sort of quick attachment since o ise the spotter pretty often. I have an extra head shoe so was looking at modding one & keeping the other for my spotter.Does your tripod use a "quick shoe" style mount? Some tripod are screw mount only, others use a shoe system. I have a vanguard tripod was ~$40, then have bought 2 additional shoes for it it to use the spotter and V.

This is the mount that fits my Vanguard Alta tripod and I use with my V for shooting.

If your just wanting to target practice I'd look to RRS systems...I love the hard mount....
You can also get similar set ups to the RRS much cheap but wont be as stable

You could also put a arca rail on your rifle if you wanted to eliminate the saddle. The match shooting guys are going that way and it can be rock solid.

I have tripod plates (quick shoe) on all my accessories. Binos, spotter, shooting v, and rangefinder. They are all I terchangeable in seconds for my outdoorsmans tripod.

buy a rail and attach to rifle. Buy a QDR and use it on your shoe plate. Takes 10 min to set it up and thread lock it. May have to grind bolt/stud head down a little, but its tiny compare to the hog saddle and triclaws. Is easier and faster to use as well.
I will say the tripod itself is your limit. If i use a good tripod, i can do well out to 1K. with a pack tripod, its maybe a 600 yard set up at best.
