[QUOTE="Quicksilver338, post: 2295755, member: 108268"] Like the OP states, FOR HIM in his situation based off that picture I wouldn’t use one either. I have made most shots from a bipod but that’s the terrain I hunt. High perches overlooking a valley or opposing hillside. My rifle is also capable of such hunting but not limited to. Prone really let’s me watch my impacts and react accordingly. At 776 yds on a bear I made the impact call quicker than my spotter could, I would never take that shot if I wasn’t prone. I have also taken a shot at 108yds off my hiking poles turned into shooting sticks with the wiser precision quick stix. I made a 440yd shot on a bear off a stump at a 22 degree downward angle and it seemed oddly easy and natural. I also do some PRS competitions in the off season which I give the nod to making awkward positional shooting feel much more natural. If you guys want to improve your game I greatly recommend getting into some form of PRS shooting for the sole purpose of making yourself more accurate and applicable in the field. I don’t think a bipod is for everyone, but if you’re holding yourself back by not packing one then that’s not the smartest decision…I would always pack one just for that reason. It’s definitely more of a west coast hunter necessity though VS Midwest or east coast due to natural lay off the land. If you aren’t comfortable making a longer shot then a bipod isn’t going to improve that for you. [/QUOTE]
