Title: shooting sticks
Post by: splitshot on November 15, 2015, 12:45:28 PM: am in the market for a new bipod. have a stoney point but it is noisy and cold and doesn't swivel. it must be at least 60 in when extended. I tried a trigger deal but it was real heavy. any ideas on the perfect bipod. thanx, mike w

Round 2 was with the Boggear. First one arrived broken (clamp around extensions was made with cheap, brittle plastic.). Second set arrived broken at a different spot. Third set was the second set sent back.

Round 3 was with Cabelas brand tripod. Worked ok for first season, then it broke at the gear when I went to open it up. They somehow gave me my money back.

Round 4 is Harris bipod. Only regret is that I did the above 3 rounds to get here. Keep in mind I am very gentle with gear and shooting sticks are the only thing I have had problems with, knock on wood. Plastic moving parts just doesn't work in the wet and cold.
