I have never had anyone say anything negative about my set up but since I hate confrontation and it would ruin my enjoyment I decided to try one of the primos trigger stick bipods. I found that it worked better for me! There were times using the tripod I wouldn't have the exact height set but with time a factor I would shoot with the setup anyway. With the trigger stick the height adjustment is so quick there would not be a reason to not have the height perfect. I find the perfect height is more stable overall. Just my two cents


Homemade BiPod rest

I have said in the past that I enjoy tinkering out in the shop as much as shooting. Here is my latest. I have bought a couple bipods at sportsman ware house that were pretty lousy or have broke on me. I started using one of my tripods with one leg removed. And have made a couple rests. Here is...
