Cleat feet or spike feet for bipod

[londonhunter]

Hi folks

 

Care to share your field experience with bipod choice of feet

 

I am using all 3 systems harris, atlas and versa for various reasons

Shot yesterday in the field and I was sliding everywhere

Now for atlas I am the option of cleat or spike feet

Anybody got experience of this ?

For versapod I have the option of a raptor feet

I am told there is no direct relacement rather than to saw the ski feet off

Is that true

For Harris its a slip on claw foot and it look ugly as hell

Is there a solution for the Harris

Dare to share you experience ?

 

Thanks

Get a STL Bipod, best of both worlds.

I shoot a bipod with a very light hold and find the standard feet on the Harris or atlas grip well on my tab or AIM Matt if conditions are really poor that I can't use directly on the ground. Have you considered a mat?

Ok

 

I use bipod mainly in the field with angry things trying to eat me ...

In that situation I wouldn't anticipate you putting down enough rounds to chew up the ground.

A head net or pure deet usually works in this situation!

 

I've only ever had my Atlas' slip on greasy wet concrete - the legs rotated which is something they've fixed with the latest model. I've not had them or a Harris slip under any other conditions. I'd say have a good look at the way you build your position and load the bipod in the first instance, you may save yourself a bit of money.
