How stable are the legs when put into the ground? Does it shake when you shoot or does it stick in the ground?

this is a very solid rest. it does not shake. It is very good in the field.

With the three legs it's very stable.The legs adjust individually so it's stable even on uneven ground.

So far I have only used the Caldwell Deadshot Fieldpod with my crossbow. The legs are NOT really designed to be "put into the ground", just set on the ground. As far as stability when I shot my crossbow there was really NO PROBLEM WITH SHAKING. It was very stable. But one must realize that the "recoil" from a crossbow is little to none in comparison to a rifle or shotgun. For these I can not say about stability. Jim Judge Buffalo, Iowa

sam... it is very stable..a one inch group is very doable for me at a hundred yards now

THE are little spikes on the bottom of the feet. The rifle recoil will move the stand a little. However, it is a very good device, worth the money.

As previously answered.. A very loose hold at the balance point of the rifle. There are videos demonstrating it if you search for it.

It's pretty solid. The legs go "out" as opposed to straight down. This must help with stability. I've used it with power tools and haven't had any problems. As it gets older with more use it may wiggle a bit but so far so good.

The feet do not flop around... Its a monopod not a tripod but will help stabilize your camera to give tripod like results... Though you should never set up monopod with camera and then walk away from it.

I own this tripod and the legs are very strong and sturdy. No ball mount, just left right pan and up down tilt fluid head. Fluid head can be a tad stiff....I'd say it's a 8 out of 10 compared to a manfrotto fluid head. For the price.....it's worth I just for the legs and you can upgrade the head later. That's what I'll be doing.

all works well until dropped/falls over = fine for money and factory replaces stupid moves,sometimes.i'm pcp now = no recoil so i'm not as hard on my equipment as i used to be...when failed, factory replaced - recommend!

I have been shooting mine with a 1100 fps pellet gun. It makes a noise and swings some, but doesn't make it swing up all the way requiring a shot to reset.

The legs swing out but you need to be sure they are spread out fully. They don't lock or pop so that you know they are fully extended on either end. If they aren't all the way out it will feel wobbly. I love it though - the middle leg isn't right up under the center so it isn't stabbing you in the back all night - much better than others I tried.

It is stable on three legs, just keep on flat surface. I haven't had igniter issues. Has worked great takes a little time to heat up.

So it will stick into the ground and not move around. It helps when shooting sports and wildlife.

It's stable. My 3 & 4 yr old boys play on it all the time. We haven't had any problems.

The legs stay in place unless you put pressure on them to move them so there is no problem with the legs collapsing.

I have the two leg model that my son uses in the shooting house. We love it because you can leave the gun up the whole time without touching or having to hold it. We could not do that with the three leg model because you have to extend the legs so far out

Very stable. Each of the bottom legs has an adjustable foot piece for leveling purposes. I have it on tile and I didn't need to drill it into the wall to keep it stable. The holes aren't very noticeable, they are small and are at the top part of the back vertical beams. I have tan walls and I hardly notice them.

I disagree with the previous answer. I use it often in if not exactly 90 degree, near enough. I shooting objects on a tabletop. It works for me. I also have no issue with the stability. You might have to add a counterweight from the provided hook depending on the weight of your equipment, but if you tighten everything down, it's very stable. Opinions vary.

It's pretty stable. The rubber stoppers will go up exposing metal spikes that you can stick into the ground for extra support.

It's very stable. I however keep it at home for practice only. Just be careful, if you adjust it a lot, I understand that can cause weakness.
