The tripod shooting craze you know today, started in 1996 when CMI launched the Sharpshooters® series of
rifle rests and sniping kits. Developed by our founder, a police sniper, these systems sold into the hunting
industry and the law enforcement and military sniping professions
Today, everyone under the sun that's in either the tactical shooting sports or the sniping profession runs
some
sort of rifle rest that mounts to a tripod. If you’re looking for the modern-day origin of this craze, you
just
found it! Check out this 1999 article about tripod shooting in Tactical Shooter magazine.
