Interesting option. I have wondered about the whole concept of forced positions in matches. I must admit that I favour adapting to the environment rather than carrying heaps of 'stuff'. To me the logic of shooting at the different heights on the gate is flawed. The shooter should be allowed to shoot at whatever height is right for them, given the situation, eg. grass, shrubs etc. Making oneself a large object ( target in some instances ) seems illogical given that most animals are highly attuned to their environment. Your technique though has sound logic. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. The directors of these PRS matches set the rules for the stages. Many of them are not very practical. One needs to understand the game we are subjecting ourselves to when we attend one of these events.
Just started working with a AG grippy flat bag looped over the end of my handguard (gas gun) with the bipod reversed (legs pointing towards receiver (so it creates a "stop"). I have a sgt of arms handguard so it's flat bottom (arca rail machined into it) thus creating a flat surface resting on the bag. I've only tried it dry firing but the thought is a bag I don't have to pick up and reposition every time. Set the tripod, set the rifle on the prop and settle it until the bipod stops against the prop, support rear of rifle with the tripod. Like I said, dry fire it works but we'll see what live fire brings tomorrow on practice day.
Good video, tripod is good once your familiar with how to use it in this manner. I use the tator tot bag with sand and was taught to turn it upside down which basically pinches the cattle guard bar, it helps especially when time is 90 secs and u have to move quickly
Have you guys tried this yet?
Very informative mate. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Great tip about bringing the bag down diagonally following the contour of the tripod
Your at twisted barrel owners are great folks
Yes sir! Great guys for sure
Hadn't even thought of this.

Sounds like it should work.
