[QUOTE="lotech, post: 2571305, member: 63141"] I've used what ever is handiest, but most of the time it's been an original tripod model BogPod with the standard u-shaped rest piece. Yes, it takes just a bit to set it up, but practice with it some and you can do it pretty quickly. I've never missed an opportunity for a shot because I was slow in setting up. I'm not a long range hunter, but my Bog Pod has worked well for distances up to about 320 yards for me. I don't care for rifles with attached bipods, but some do and that's okay. It's strictly a personal preference and up to the shooter. One note regarding shooting off a BogPod (or something similar)...my experience only and it may not apply to anyone else, but when I first practiced, my shots (can't remember now if it was at 200 or 300 yards) were a little high, not enough to really matter unless you get way out there, but it's still wise to do some shooting from whatever you're using before the season to see if there is a point of impact change vs. using a benchrest. After a little more practice and familiarization with my equipment, points of impact were the same as shooting from a bench. [/QUOTE]
