[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 982754, member: 54178"] [b]Re: Bipods on hard surfaces? Padding & Loading[/b] !. Always load your bipod by pushing forward against it as close to the same pressure for [I]every[/I] shot as you can manage. 2. Taping closed cell foam pads (like neoprene) on your bipod "feet" will mitigate bounce on hard surfaces. Bipods are meant for use on dirt, grass and other softer natural materials, not shooting benches. Some bipods have rubber foot caps available. You can also use rubber hiking stick end caps. Leki sells them as do other makers like Black Diamond. Don't give up on bipods. Also use your sling to stabilize your shooting arm. Finally always try to get your [B]Natural Point of Aim [/B](NPA) before shooting. Line up your shot, close your eyes and relax your body. Open your eyes and if your crosshairs are off the target make small body movements (not muscle changes), relaxing after each movement until you get on target again, this time with your NPA. Then practice, practice, practice. [/QUOTE]
