First off, there are no monthly FT events within hundreds of miles of me, but I wanted to give the seated / bipod method a try anyway. I have a dozen of the Crosman steel squirrel targets that are close enough to simulate the FT targets with a resetting kill zone, though the entire target doesn't fall down. I normally shoot standing with no support, off an attached bipod, standing with a tripod or from a bench, so I have no experience with non attached bipods. I already have a really nice, lightweight, thin legged carbon fiber tripod that has one removable leg to turn it into a bipod, so all I need is the V shaped yoke with a standard 1/4-20 threaded bottom to go on top of my tripod head.
I will be shooting 3 different guns and would like a V yoke that might fit all three, but I don't mind buying three different ones if needed.
Gun 1 - An old Diana 54 with the fairly fat wood fore end.
Gun 2 - A Crosman Marauder Pistol / Prod with the factory fore end and buttstock.
Gun 3 - A Hatsan Factor RC - This rifle has an extremely small picatinny rail just behind the bottle and only the fairly fat 580cc bottle out front so a wide yoke would be needed.
So far I have found these models all of which might work well, but thought I might ask those with some experience as to which model would work the best with each of the three guns above. I am pretty sure all of these have a threaded bottom that will fit a 1/4-20 head screw.
