F-TR bipod boards?

Folks,

I see a few people sing a rectangular board which their bi-pod sits on. Basically short plank with carpet tile (or similar) on its top surface to give stable and consistent interface to the bi-pods feet.

Can understand the principle - but my question is what, if anything, is on the underside of this board?

Thanks in advance

Terry

I made a 600x300 mm board. It's a composite of 10mm hard rubber bottom, for weight and stability on stones, 12mm ply in the middle, and a piece cut from a giant mouse mat on the top (this works well with ski feet on my Tier 1 bipod).  Steel corners for strength.

I tried just a strip of conveyor belting but the ski feet on the bipod 'grab' - that may be a benefit for those that like that.

It works well for me on grass, gravel and stones.  Wouldn't like to carry it very far.

Cheers Gents,

Had input that the F-TR rules state they cannot be more than 2" wider than the bipods max extended width and cannot have spicks etc. on the underside or rails/guides for the feet on the top side.

Want to put 'something' on the underside, not sure what yet?

.....watch this space.

The underside must be completely flat. No pins, angle iron or the like.
