Shooting and Glassing Rests Explained With Ex Army Scout Sniper Mike Herne

You almost always have a rock-solid rear rest on your body — and most hunters never use it. Cliff sits down with Mike from Tricer to break it down. This one gets into the weeds on glassing tripods vs. shooting tripods, stabilized binos vs. tripod-mounted glass, reading bullet trace, and the simple rear-rest tricks (a puffy jacket, your pack, even your bino harness) that turn a wobbly hold into a locked-in shot. In this episode: Why a tripod forces systematic glassing — and why stabilized binos may cost you animals Filming every shot: recovering wounded game and solving "misses" that were actually hits How to read bullet trace through a spotter Matching your tripod to the hunts you actually do The rear-rest position that gives you two points of contact with the ground What NRL Hunter teaches hunters about building positions under time pressure Mike Herne - https://www.instagram.com/mike_herne Tricer - https://tricer.com/ (CLIFFG for 10% off) --- FOLLOW CLIFF YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CliffGray Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Cliffgry/ Facebook - https://facebook.com/PursuitWithCliff Pursuit With Cliff Podcast https://pursuitwithcliff.com/interviews-and-podcasts/ Cliff's Hunt Planning and Strategy Membership https://pursuitwithcliff.com/membership/ Hunt.

You almost always have a rock-solid rear rest on your body — and most hunters never use it. Cliff sits down with Mike from Tricer to break it down.

This one gets into the weeds on glassing tripods vs. shooting tripods, stabilized binos vs. tripod-mounted glass, reading bullet trace, and the simple rear-rest tricks (a puffy jacket, your pack, even your bino harness) that turn a wobbly hold into a locked-in shot.

In this episode:
Why a tripod forces systematic glassing — and why stabilized binos may cost you animals
Filming every shot: recovering wounded game and solving "misses" that were actually hits
How to read bullet trace through a spotter
Matching your tripod to the hunts you actually do
The rear-rest position that gives you two points of contact with the ground
What NRL Hunter teaches hunters about building positions under time pressure
