Ambush

The all-new Ambush is a purpose-driven handgun rest. The Ulanzi U-190 fluid head is the driving feature. The all-metal construction of this fluid head paired with our aluminum base and bracket make this the toughest handgun rest we have ever designed. The first thing you will notice is the butter-smooth action the fluid head provides. Both the panning and tilting features are ultra-smooth adding just the right amount of resistance to improve your down-range accuracy. Speed and versatility are just as important as hitting your target. The Ambush is made to go anywhere and hunt using any style. Choose your favorite high quality tripod for stationary hunting or go with a monopod for the ultimate light weight kit. Tree stand... No problem.  Rocky Mountains....Right at home. The Control Freak Bag is included with each rest. Please watch this video after you receive your rest.    weight 3.2 lbs.

    Well worth the money! Works good with my tripod trigger stick, but when I paired it with a Benro Adventure tripod I discovered the true capabilaty of the rest. It is a portable bench rest.

    So far, it has been very stable platform to shoot from. I’ve been using the suggested monopod. It’s like hunting from a bench rest. I took it hunting this past weekend but no shots on big game yet. Would recomend.

    This rest is great! I have mounted it up on a carbon fiber tripod, and it is rock-steady. At the range, it is easy to get on target quickly, and has extended my effective range by 2x! I intend to use it in a few months on a handgun hunt for Axis deer, looking forward to using it. I shoot large-bore revolvers, and this rest is easy to set up for these handguns. Highly recommend this product for anyone who hunts with handguns.

    Very steady rest for my 357 magnum revolver. Now added a Oben monopod to give me more room in my box blind. Waiting to give this a try.

    Was a little concerned when I first saw the rest. After contacting them and they responded back quickly with answers I purchased one. Works just as they say. Solid off a tripod. In practice to get use to the rest noticed the group was as good as off a bench. Just wish I had this a couple of years ago. It works!

    If you want to be accurate at 100yds with a pistol this is a must

    Previously I thought it was impossible
    But now I am a true believer

    Works great atop a monopod and braced against a bench for making precise sight adjustments from a standing position.

    Very good response when I reached out with questions. Promptly delivered after order was made. The rest is very solid and really helped with keeping my revolver steady. Very happy with the purchase.

    This is by far the best handgun rest for hunting I have found. It provides the two points of rest (barrel and butt of the revolver). The second thing which needs to be done is finding the correct shooting stick/tripod to mount it on. I currently have it mounted on my Primos trigger stick tripod. I tried it on my Primos monopod and it simply wasn’t sturdy enough in my opinion. I wish Bog would introduce a quick adjust like the Primos trigger system, because Bog pods seem much sturdier, but for the moment I will continue with the Primos trigger stick tripod.

    This product is fantastic! Not only for hunting, but also at the range for load testing and zeroing. I hunt the wide open west, so I shoot handguns at long ranges. This rest is genius! I wish I hand purchased one a long time ago…

Q & A

Is it possible to just buy the rest and attach it to my existing ball head? Jason Edwards asked on February 2, 2024

Jason, the rest works best with a fluid head, not a ball head. There is a difference. To answer your question, yes you can buy the platform and everything above or 154.99. If you decide to do so, let me know and I will send you a coupon code to use at checkout.

Will this work well with the Primos Trigger Stick Shockley tripod with camera base attachment Mike asked on December 30, 2022

Mike, I have not used a Primos Trigger Stick, but heard they work well from Roy Yeager. Roy is a writer for Handgun Hunters International, and runs the Facebook group, Tennesse Handgun Hunters. https://www.facebook.com/groups/766207080186278 I'm sure he would be glad to answer your question. He also has an article coming out soon which will be discussing to combination.

Does this come with the ControlFreak bag? Also, di I need to purchase anything additional (bases, attachments) for it to work with the monopods you recommend? Doug asked on December 18, 2022

Doug I does come with the bag. I saw that you ordered one. I will take it out of your order, and just send the included one.

Brian

Brian Thurber answered on December 19, 2022 store manager

Doug, Sorry I didn't answer the second part of your question. You are good to go without ordering anything extra. The monopod or tripod will have a 3/8-16 stud that will screw directly into the fluid head.

What style of handguns does this rest is capable with? Errol Chouest asked on December 16, 2022

Errol, Think of this rest as a compact go anywhere rest. I works really well with everything from Auto pistols to full size 44 magnums. I did release a video on the Trifecta Handgun Youtube Channel if you want to see a couple of shots in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY0GXbzl4PA
