Hatch Bipod Gen 2 Standard vs Tall height

[Paxton Potter]

I want to buy the new Gen 2 Hatch bipod. I hunt black bear and Sitka blacktails in SE, AK. I currently have a Spartan Javelin Pro Hunt Tac Bipod, but I struggle with the 12" limited height. I end up having to find a new place to shoot prone or put my bipod on my pack to clear vegetation or some terrain that places the animal out of sight. I have played around with shooting off of a tripod and read every thread on here. I want to hear from people who have experience with standard or tall hatch bipods. Have you ever needed more height than the standard offers? Has the tall version ever been too big or cumbersome? These are examples of what I'm trying to figure out.

I have been looking at the Hatch but think I will wait to check out the new bipod from Tricer bipod

I have a tall hatch that I have used a lot in hunting and match and training. It works ok but it’s simply not robust enough for my needs. I’m constantly having to tighten the legs and the adjustments are not super fast.

The tall version is definitely a comprise when shooting standard prone and takes a large footprint.

That said it is pretty good for what it is. I know there are more alternatives out there now.

I have the tricer above on preorder.
