Bipod recommendations

Carbon shooting sticks weigh less than the bog and are faster to set up, so that argument don't fly. And they make a good hiking pole.... or bungie them up like a sling.

I bet they would and my bog sticks are great for that too. More than anything, just going for self containment. I use my trekking poles as shooting sticks in the elk woods and they work great for that. I could do that here and have the same benefits you mention too. Just looking for something different to try and see how I like it.

Have you looked at the Wiser Precision Quick-StiX connector piece for trekking poles? I just ordered it and am curious to see how it does. I like the idea because you can still have a short bipod on the rifle, or even spread the poles wide enough to go prone, but tall enough to shoot seated. Lightweight. When I'm hiking, I want the poles anyway in case I need to pack a load out. They make an adapter for ARCA or Pic connection too.

Add the Quick-StiX to your trekking poles and instantly have a pair of shooting sticks in the palm of your hands.

Those look pretty darn cool and I bet those would work awesome. I may order some too!

Currently using Hatch bipod. It works prone and extends far enough where I used it seated for my mule deer shot. I also have their third leg which converts it to tripod for glassing or shooting.

You can leave a bipod attached with vanilla shooting sticks, too. And you can put the Wisers on carbon cow-pokers, not just hiking poles....

I love my Gen 1 hatch bipod for calling. It’s just handy to leave it on the rifle for my trek to my stand. I got the 27” model and it’s plenty for seated shooting in 95% of situations. If I set up on a side hill I have found the need to slightly slouch over to shoot straight across. No a deal breaker though.

It’s also very quick to deploy and adjust.

Me too, looking forward to getting a generation 2 I switch mine back-and-forth between three different rifles
