Bipod Techinque

[philny1]

Been taking my shots of my pack. Til now talking 500-600yds and one bull at 700yds plus. Normally I can lock up pretty solid, last fall due to the terrain my rest left quite abit to be desired. Never been a big fan of bipods, other than varmint hunting. Just read a post advising a inexperienced LRH like myself to research bipod technique. Would be interested in any info on this subject.

Bearless I use a Harris with a firm hold I load the bipod, Push forward into the pod to take up tension. PRACTICE / CONSISTENCY
Go to www.6mmbr.com look up article bugholes from a bipod by froggy

Bearless, I'm pleased you asked the question. I've shot my .300 WM off a bipod a bit and groups weren't (too) bad, but I bounced all over making follow through difficult and I'd settle way off where I was aiming, making seeing hits impossible.

I read the "Bugholes from Bipods" (I think it was) by Froggy, and there are a few tips - firm hold and pre-loading the legs, but that from what I saw about sums it up. Which is what Rimfire said.

I'd also like any other tips.

The same Rimfire is talking about.

Thanks guys. Weather brakes, I'll put in some practice time. I basically use that hard hold method shooting off my pack. Although sometimes I'll do a reach around, depending on the terrain.
Had a pretty good system hunting those sage covered slopes in WY. Went to CO last fall and hunted oak brush for the first time.

and how did the oak brush treat ya????? I hate that Dam stuff but it seams that where the elk like to hide, so every year I find myself right in the midde of the thickest patch on the steepest part of the hill LMAO [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yea, you're right that where the elk were. Finally found myself a hole in that damm stuff that I could shoot outta. Filled my cow and bull tags. Booked to go back this Oct.
