New tricer bipod

[NSI]

I’m so confused. You can increase production if you get more pre-orders than you expect? What is this sorcery?

Enlarged the push buttons for angle adjustments on the final version of the bipod.

Pretty much everyone who handled the RP at the WHE preordered it. I am blown away by the number of orders we have. We have tripled our initial production to keep up with the demand.

It’s because this is something hunters will actually use. I’ve spent many nights/mornings with an old tall Harris against a tree. I don’t do that as much, but this is the modern version plus the benefit of only needing one bipod from prone to seated. I honestly don’t know why this wasn’t made so much sooner or why Gunwerks wasn’t this.

My brother in Christ if you are surprised by a sturdy prone-to-kneeling bipod for under 1lb and less than a thousand dollars being popular, wait until you find out who we voted for president in 2020

You will buy one once you use it. The pan feature is not an issue with the large ball.

Send one over then and we'll test your theory.
If the pan has no effect I'll send you a check.

To @WKR 's point, add a SKU trading the ball and socket for a hinge and pin.
ZYou would have a happier customer from me as well.
Adding pan is a waste of rigidity to me

I don’t like pan in my bipods either but if you can lock it up the way he says then I’ll be happy. Anything is better than the atlas pan haha

I have one on preorder but would much prefer if you removed the pan. It is not needed and will/does cause issues.

I’m sure I can live with it, but would much prefer a pin and hinge to the ball. I never want my bipod feet anything other than perpendicular to the barrel.

I can always drill and pin it myself.

I'd probably buy one if it didn't have a pan feature... or just make another model without pan feature and I'll buy that one.
Also, show some videos/pictures of the shorter legs attached.

Another no pan option, please.

Explain to a layman on the subject why everyone seems to not want pan and why they would have made it with it instead of without.
Thanks

Look into "natural point of aim" for why pan is a negative pre-shot

Also after the shot breaks, recoil needs to be coming straight backwards, not at an angle to the target, to be able to spot hits/misses or follow up.

Same reason you want your tripod legs setup with one leg forward in line with the rifle bore and other two legs pointed rear evenly spaced when shooting.

If you start getting funky angles from your supports, the rifle won’t recoil back in a straight line. It makes it more difficult to manage recoil, causes misses, and makes spotting shots more difficult.

 

[Coopsdaddy]

Gotcha,makes sense.
Why even offer it then?

It can be handy for moving targets to keep your rifle aimed without repositioning. It’s more common with predator hunting and PRS style bipods.

Just need to be aware of the accuracy trade off.

This bipod looks really good. It’s nice to see an affordable competitor to a double pull Ckyepod. Without pan or a way to lockout pan independent of cant it would be a no brainer.

 

[ChrisAU]

I think it needs to be in a few hands before the no-panners denounce it. Appears to me the ball will be under tension you choose, it won’t be like it can free-pan if you also need to be able to cant.

 

[Coopsdaddy]

Preordered one,will be nice upgrade that Ive need for years at a much better price point.

@Tricer - Is there a video that shows how to change from the Picatinny head to the Arca head? Wondering how easy it is to switch between the two and what weight penalty there is, if there is even is one.

I wonder if the ball could have a hole/channel milled and you install a pin with a spring so you could essentially lock it to tilt and then pull the pin for pan?

Either way, I pre-ordered as well as this seems like a fantastic 1 bipod option.

That would be awesome, but I don’t have a mill, I do have a drill press! I don’t see myself using it so I will not go through the effort to make a selectable pan lock out vs just a permanent pan lock out pin.
