Why Train with Your Kopfjäger Tripod?

Shooting from a bench rest is great when you're testing ammo to find the most accurate load for your rifle or dialing in your scope at the range. But let’s be honest, your trusty bench rest isn’t coming with you on the hunt. If you’re serious about making ethical, accurate shots in the field, you need to practice like you hunt. Train with your tripod.

Whether you’ve got the rock-solid K700 Aluminum Tripod or the ultra-light, carbon-fiber K800 Tripod, these tripods offer just as much stability as a bench rest while mimicking the real-world shooting scenarios you’ll face in the field.

Practicing with your Kopfjäger tripod gives you real-world data on your rifle’s performance. You’ll see exactly how your shot groupings change under hunting conditions and understand your distance limitations with your current rifle setup. Plus, many ranges allow for creative practice. You can test different shooting positions like kneeling, sitting, or even prone, just as you might when you’re in pursuit of game.

Why Stability Matters (Especially for Coyotes)

We all know stability is critical for accuracy, but it becomes even more important when hunting smaller, quicker animals like coyotes. Here’s why:

• Kill Zones: A deer’s kill zone—its heart and lungs—is a forgiving 8-10 inches in diameter. But for coyotes, it’s only about 4-6 inches. Add their agility into the mix, and you’ll need serious precision to make ethical, clean shots.
• Brain Shots: Think you can pull off a brain shot on a coyote? That target is just 2.5-3 inches across. To land it, you’ll need to aim between the eyes and ears, which is no small feat on a moving animal, especially at long range.

That’s why having a steady rest, like your Kopfjäger tripod, gives you the stability you need to confidently hit your mark, whatever shooting position you choose.

Why Choose Kopfjäger Tripods?

Normally, lightweight tripods mean sacrificing stability because they flex and wobble under pressure, especially if they have to support a heavy rifle, but not with Kopfjäger. The K800 Carbon Fiber Tripod is lightweight yet incredibly sturdy, making it the perfect choice for long hunts where every ounce counts. If weight isn’t a concern and you want the ultimate in durability, the K700 Aluminum Tripod has you covered.

In addition, Kopfjäger provides a wide variety of innovative mounting heads to customize your setup:

• Reaper Grip: The ultimate in versatility, the Reaper Grip securely locks your rifle in place, giving you unmatched stability no matter the terrain.
• Reaper Hellbound: Designed for hunters who appreciate straightforward, no-nonsense gear. This saddle mount offers the same vice-like grip as the original Reaper but in a lighter and simpler package.
• Mag Series: Looking for speed and simplicity? These magnetic mounting heads allow you to snap your rifle into place in seconds, keeping you ready for any opportunity that presents itself.

Train Like You Hunt

At the end of the day, if you’re using your tripod on the range, you might as well use it in the field. So, next time you’re headed out to practice, leave the bench rest at home and train like you hunt with your Kopfjäger tripod. You’ll see the difference when it matters most.
