Scope Stand


This is a collapsible scope stand and is an essential piece of equipment for any competition shooter. The three metal rods screw together, and screw into the three-legged base.

 

 


The scope with the proper apparatus can easily slide onto the stand and be adjusted to whatever level is convenient for the shooter.
 

SCOPE STAND:

For right handed shooters the scope stand is placed on the left side of the position/body/stance.

It should be placed as close to the shooter's eye as possible, and should be easily accessed to be looked through with only a minor movement of the head (max. 4" movement).

As a general rule the scope stand should only be used to check the sights on a rifle. After every shot or after a group of shots, a shooter can look through and access what changes need to be made, either in position adjustments or sight adjustments. The scope should not be used to score targets, its just not good for your head during a match!!
