[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3028597, member: 75451"] I realize that you asked about bipods, and they do offer a greater degree of support /accuracy than good, stiff, lightweight shooting sticks. The bipod negatives: * Not all terrain is conducive to hunting with a bipod……good shooting sticks can easily provide 45” of elevation, clearing many obstacles! * Not all shots will require a support, such as a quick shot in timber. The attached bipod changes the natural balance of the rifle, and can severely hinder offhand shooting. * Stiff shooting sticks can serve as walking sticks, though a bit limited in their effectiveness. They can help you navigate through deadfall…..helping you maintain your balance. They can be very beneficial when traversing a snow covered rock/boulder field, using the sticks to find hidden holes between rocks…..rather than your ankle. For extreme long range shots, they come in second place to a good bipod system……but, that may be their only second place finish to a bipod! memtb [/QUOTE]
