johngarnett Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Morning F'ers!! I'm thinking of getting a bipod suitable for FTR. (Anschutz rail) I have a Mystic now but I find the height adjustment tricky. What are the current thoughts please? Tier One, Dolphin Tracker or AB or Shooting Shed (if David makes any more) Thank you JohnG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDuston Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 I was looking for a Seb Joypod, I gave Fox Firearms a ring and not in till end of September. I think thy were about £380 Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Both the original (all alloy) Tier-One and the 2/3 metre-footprint carbon model are very good indeed. Likewise the Dolphin AB (another carbon fibre legs model) and the alloy Shooting Shed Stotteben. (The Stotteben is the widest of the wide at even more than 660mm footprint when at its lowest setting.) They and the SEB Joy-Pod are all effective, easy to set up and use and can be seen being used by our top international FTR shooters. Bearing in mind David Bonwick (Shooting Shed) only making occasional limited production runs of his Stotteben, you see it in use by a disproportionate number of such competitors, but the SEB is likely the most popular at top club, and national levels. I have both the Dolphin AB and Stotteben models currently on loan for review, have shot them with F-Open rifles up to 284 Win with 180s and regard them as very good indeed. I'll shortly do a write-up for them as a follow-up to that for the Tier-One Carbon in Target Shooter. The best one? It's a personal preference issue - I'd be happy to use any of the trio (and/or the SEB JoyPod). The Tier-One models with their spoked mariner wheel adjusters are probably the easiest to make minor in-comp height adjustments excepting of course the SEB with its joystick. (But it's remarkable how many people lock that one up solid and shoot without using the joystick facility.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furrybean Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 (But it's remarkable how many people lock that one up solid and shoot without using the joystick facility.) I have messaged Seb about just this. My natural shooting position would make a joypod unnatural but the weight saving looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mill mick Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hi John I use a Tier One and I think it works very well, coincidentally I'm actually looking for a Mystic Pod myself so if you do decide on something different and want to sell the Mystic I would be interested . Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngarnett Posted September 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 6mill, I have sold my Mystic to a fellow club member. I bought a Shooting Shed bipod. Very pleased - if it helps!! Thank you JohnG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David will Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Just recently got myself a Tier One and am quite impresed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralpharama Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I have had a tier one FTR and used it for non-competitive 600 - 1000metres from .223 to .300 Win Mag with good result for a number of years. Not looking to change 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I've a Sinclair F Class bipod which I find very good. Since I no longer shoot comp (have taken a break thanks to a trapped nerve), it will probably be in the classifieds as I've gone back to an Atlas type bipod for field work.
