[QUOTE="grit, post: 631884, member: 4112"] I understand. It's difficult to justify the size and bulk of a bipod when you cut your toothbrush in half to save an ounce. A truly lightweight version is badly needed. There's a market niche and money to be had. Sure doesn't seem like a great chore to make a carbon fiber unit. Personally, I nearly always carry a bipod. I shoot off them so much the weight and bulk is worth it to me. That said, you could do a whole lot with your pack and what you already carry. Backpack for a front rest, tightly rolled pair of socks or other article of clothing for a rear rest would be very versatile and effective. In my experimenting, I found the sling effective to six hundred-ish. compared to the bipod, it's an, "I'll make it work type of stability". This is too limiting for me. I have not practiced with the sling extensively. A real expert would likely do better. A friend of mine, Tyler, hunts with a sling extensively. You might send him a PM. He goes by 7mmstak here. He chooses to limit his shooting to 600 - 700 yards. [/QUOTE]
