I posted this a few years back, I?ve been using both the deadshot tripod and treepod. True as sold it is not designed / compatible for handguns. I modified my railing with a 6 x 6 piece of ? inch plywood attached with 4 bolts & wing nuts so I can adjust if needed. I use a leather pillow filled with tumble media. I secure the pillow to the plywood with Velcro so it stays attached. I am very happy with both no issues with accuracy, I can mirror my practice and hunt from ground to tree. I can leave the wood plate attached and continue to use it for rifle if desired. Pictures below.
