The Bog Deathgrip Bantam Lightweight Aluminum Tripod Shooting Rest is a highly portable, downsized version of BOG’s original heavy-duty shooting platform. Engineered specifically for active hunters who demand mobility without sacrificing stability, this tripod features a dual-action DeathGrip clamping head that locks firearms securely for hands-free operation. Constructed with small-diameter aluminum legs and a matte-black hard-coat anodised finish, it minimizes game-spooking glare and resists the elements. As a purely mechanical shooting accessory, it operates without batteries or electrical components, making it fully compliant with Australian import regulations without requiring RCM or SAA certifications.

Who is the Bog Deathgrip Bantam Lightweight Aluminum Tripod Shooting Rest for?

• Spot-and-stalk backcountry hunters — need to minimize physical fatigue on long mountain treks, which this lightweight shooting tripod facilitates by weighing only 3.1 lbs while maintaining a substantial weight capacity of 40 lbs to secure heavy, fully kitted hunting rifles.
• Mobile hunters requiring sitting and kneeling shooting positions — benefit from the targeted design of this compact shooting rest, which features a restricted height range of 20 inches to 42 inches to provide optimal stability close to the ground.

Less suitable for: shooters who require a standing shooting position, as the compact height range is limited to a maximum of 42 inches, meaning users must instead transition to a full-sized shooting tripod to shoot comfortably from an upright stance.
