BOG
BOG makes shooting rests and tripods for hunters, and the DeathGrip name is its line of clamping tripod gear. Our BOG tripod accessories page carries the BOG DeathGrip UltraLite Clamping Tripod Head, a head that clamps onto your rifle so the tripod holds it for you.
Why a clamping head helps at night
On a night stand you're often doing three things at once: scanning with a thermal, working a caller remote, and waiting for a coyote to commit. With the rifle clamped in a tripod head, it stays pointed where you left it while your hands are busy. When the animal shows up, you settle in behind a gun that's already steady instead of trying to hold a heavy thermal scope still offhand.
A clamping head also lets you leave the rifle parked on the stand between calling sequences without leaning it against a tree or setting it in the dirt. As the UltraLite name suggests, this version is built to keep weight down for walking in to a stand.
Check that the head's mounting thread matches your tripod before you order. If you're building a full setup, call (309) 781-8421 and we'll match a head, tripod and plate to your rifle and optic. Like other brands we sell, BOG gear is covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and we help you reach them if something goes wrong.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BOG DeathGrip?
DeathGrip is BOG's line of clamping tripod gear. Instead of resting your rifle in a yoke, a DeathGrip head clamps onto the gun, so the tripod holds it steady and aimed while your hands are free. We carry the BOG DeathGrip UltraLite Clamping Tripod Head, the lighter version built for walking in to a stand.
How do you use a BOG DeathGrip clamping head?
Mount the head on your tripod, set the rifle's stock in the clamp, and tighten it until the gun is held firmly. From there you swing and tilt the head to aim. On a night stand, you can leave the rifle clamped and pointed at your lane while you scan with a thermal and run the caller. Check that the head's mounting thread matches your tripod before you buy.
Is the BOG DeathGrip worth it for night hunting?
For predator and hog hunters who sit with a heavy thermal scope, it often is. Holding that weight still offhand is hard, and a clamped rifle stays where you left it while you call and scan. When a coyote commits, you settle in behind a gun that is already steady. If you mostly shoot from a vehicle or bench, you may not need one.
Are shooting sticks worth it?
For most field shots, yes. Any rest beats shooting offhand, especially at night when a thermal scope adds weight to the front of the rifle. Two-leg sticks are light and quick to set up. A full tripod with a clamping head like the BOG DeathGrip UltraLite steadies the gun even more and holds it for you between calling sequences.
What is the most stable setup for shooting off a tripod?
Three legs and a head that clamps the rifle give you the steadiest rest outside of a bench. The clamp takes out the wobble you get from a rifle just sitting in a yoke. Spread the legs wide on uneven ground, keep the head low enough to sit comfortably, and match the head's thread to your tripod.
