[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2238411, member: 87243"] I personally think you should allow tripods, that is all I hunt with now, and my pack is lighter than if I were to have a bipod because of it. I ditch the bipod, put an arca rail on my rifle, and use the same tripod I use for glassing as my front rifle rest, take my binos or spotter out, put my rifle in, take the shot. It makes me lighter, and I can take more stable shots from more positions than a guy with a pack or a bipod as a front rest. I know you want to prevent it from becoming a PRS type thing, but your weight limit, power factor, and course layout do that. I will say, I think your max weight should be just a little less. 13-14 lbs max. I like the bracketed power factor also, I would personally use my 9.5 lb .338 Norma mag. With the tripod, it is 12.5 lbs, and an ultra light fill rear bag is only a few more ounces. Part of why I think the max weight should be less, with a light bipod and rear bag, you could easily run a 13.5 lbs rifle, that is significantly heavier than almost every hunting rifle I know of that gets packed very far. Just my thoughts, sounds fun! [/QUOTE]
