[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 526104, member: 4809"] I use a 6"-9" Harris bipod with the podlock. I use this mostly when I am in a postion higher than the quarry and shooting downhill. You will find that the heighth of the ground vegetation will dictate when and how often the bipod can be used. More often than not, my shots are taken off a pack & clothing (padding) thrown over a log or boulder. Occassionally, I will use sticks - if I have them along. Once you get off the sled and out into the field, you will quickly find out what works (and which products are impractical) most of the time. I was mildly surprised to learn that the bipod was only good about 25%-35% of the time on the shots I was trying to make prone. The field is where your learning will take palce. After a while, you will naturally start gravitating to those rests that have worked for you in the past - such as a bipod when making a shot on a downhill slope, or a rock/stump when shooting flat or uphill. Sometimes a tree works best. But the learning curve can only begin when you start making the real shots out in the field under different circumstances. [/QUOTE]
