For Hunting use what is the best height range for bipod.

what type of terrain do you hunt, and at what range are your expected shots?

Mostly out west. Open terrain. Shots 100-1000yds

I use 13-27" Harris bipod for ease of transition from prone to sitting position.

I cut wooden dowels to fit in the legs of an Atlas Bipod so I now have 1', 2', and 3' extensions. The 1' work in grass on the flat and the long ones work shooting downhill. With the bipod off the rifle the 2' extensions make a perfect rest for my bino's with sitting.

Hey jackem can you post some pictures of these wooden dowels and of them in use?

Fishbox, Here's one withe the short extensions on my Grendel. The P-dog is its first taste of blood. I'll get a couple more pics and post them later today.

I was thinking that 7-13" on the atlas would be a good range. Could also add the extensions.

How my bipod gets the most use; holding binos. The leather boot I made, it fits on the Atlas tight and protects binos and cameras, a poor man's multipurpose bino adapter.... Pic's to follow as soon as I get them to load

Hopefully here's the pic's

That's pretty innovative!

okay so you just pop the feet out and install your exstensions. Thanks for posting the pics, got the wheels turning now.

 

[jackem]

You're welcome. Good luck with your project.

I am not sure of the actual count but at least a dozen of us use the HB25S Harris Bipod (12 to 25 inches). We are all coues wt hunters who hunt in S. Arizona. The uneven terrain requires this longer bi-pod. The S version is the only way to go.
