[QUOTE="simone, post: 2829345, member: 103268"] Hi guys, yeaterday i went to check my favourite spots for hunting roes in the new hunting district i have been assigned to since last november just to check conditions and animal presence.. wow, so much changed since march. Now that i hunt in this area were shots are 90% prone and beyond 150-200 yards (up to 4-5 hundred), i realized that the vegetation will be a problem. For example, i am going to buy a harris bipod and I tried to figure out the ideal height (6-9 or 9-13 inches). I am not fat and i am 5'9" so i think the lower bipod could work well but i wanted to check if i could find a situation were the extra inches of the 9-13 bipod could have helped me taking a shot that I couldn't have taken with the 6-9". In this new district grass and vegetation grows like crazy, i didn't find any field were i could have taken a prone shot off anyone of the two bipods cause the minimum height of grass i found was around 20 inches with many fields and praires with 2 feet thick grass! For a prone shot an elevated position will be critical, as it will be the fact that the animal will be shootable with all that vegetation in the way. On an elevated position bipod height will be irrelevant to make the shot as long as that height fits the hunter body. What do you guys think? Have you ever been in a situation were you wouldn't have been able to take a prone shot with a bipod due to its short height, just for 4 inches like in this case? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
