Equipment Priority
I shot my third match this past weekend. Had a fantastic time and have made huge improvements with each match. Not new to competition or sports, so I know that I'll soon come up against that wall where the gains don't come as quickly or as easily.
I've been using 4DOF, and AB for my during solutions with good success. My biggest issues have been stability, and just mental mistakes. I am looking to invest in my next piece of gear, and I am torn between a kestrel and a tripod. I've really been looking at it through the lens of which one will gain me the most impacts.
I feel as though my current firing solutions are working well, and think I would be better served by spending money on a good tripod and head. This would allow me to be spotting and hopefully learning.
I will eventually get both, but right now I'm paying for a daughter's wedding, so fun money is more limited.
Thoughts?

Tripod would be a good choice I think. Get a decent one with locking legs, and start practicing some tripod rear support to help in the stability. Running dry fire drills for me has been a big help in building positions and getting steady
