BiPod That Doesnt Attach Recommendations
I want to use my .177 Cricket Compact for Field Target competitions this summer, Hunter class. Last year they made attached bipods illegal because the directors felt they were a big advantage shooting from the prone position.
Can anyone recommend a bipod that is adjustable from 6 to 9 inches that doesn’t attach?

I have been happy with this one.

Thanks for the ideas Hoot: :hoot: The 2×6 with a notch cut out sounds like a good idea. I am going to see if its legal. It would be stable and easy to setup from lane to lane then target to target. Most matches give a 1 min 30 sec to 2 min per target.
Last season the only support I saw people use were 2 legged shooting sticks or a single pole with a U on top for support. The photo with the guy in the prone position looks to be using a bipod that is not attached to the gun. He is holding it in place with one hand then shooting. The other photo is how 95% of the guys shooting FT Hunter class shoot.

No such animal.
Use a 2 X 6″ board, or a 2 X 10″ board and cut a notch in it for the barrel to rest. Cut it to a reasonable length, then put some carpet or something soft in the notch to keep from scratching the barrel/air cylinder.
You can also buy some lead shot filled leather bags and stack a few on top of each other and rest the barrel on that.
Hell….you can roll up a thick towel and plut zip ties on each end and use that as well. Use your imagination.

Any of you guys have mat suggestions for shooting in the prone position? One that is light weight to move from lane to lane and weather resistant for wet conditions.
