I have a bipod on all the time and use it most when lamping at night. I have sticks for stalking and if I was to sit on the ground or in a blind I would use the sticks also.

I have the bipod attached to my AR-15, but have been using shooting sticks.

The shooting sticks allow me to reposition much quicker. If I start shooting more open country, I might start using the bipod more.

i have the stony point shooting sticks like yd. one thinkg i like about them is if you have a moving or running shot you just let em go and swing with the dog. i have tried bi-pods more than once and find if your in uneven or brushy areas they are effective only about 50% of the time. the other 50% they ruin the shot. just my opinion. more than often i love a good tree...lol

Ive been using my BiPod, but recently Ive needed a set of taller sticks. I always felt like I was hunching over to much into the rifle. Im 6'4-1/2" and I need something taller.

I think I'll probably take my bi-pod off as I've never used them, I free-hand or use a tree-- just habit.

Yes I think some tall Mc Sticks would work better for you.

Yea I hear ya. Only reason I haven't taken them off is I like them for resting the rifle while getting setup. Its all about finding what works for you:D

It's shooting sticks for me. The simplicity and easy adjustments work great.

I have a Harris bipod with the swivel and will not leave home without it. It is the difference in telling a story or having pictures to prove it. I hunt a variety of terrain and have found none where it is a disadvantage. However I have used shooting stix in the past but found them to be more difficult for my style of hunting. I could get on target quicker and make more precise shots with the bipod, also I use only mouth calls and the bipod makes it easy for me to use both hands and still respond quickly to an approaching animal.

I shoot three times a month at the range, whether I like it or not. I do a lot of prone shooting with bi-pods at the range. I love bi-pods, have em for all my guns. However, in the field (Pa mountains, Pa suburbs or open country Iowa), I won't go anywhere W/out my sticks. First thought the collapsable ones were cool until you have to quickly reset and they don't. Taped the collasable ones together. Have two other pairs. Leave one set always in my Jeep, so I never forget them. Go sticks. The Buffalo hunters sure made a killing with em. RS, NattyB

I've tried the 23" bipod on my guns but don't really care for it. It's sticks or monopod for me.
