Thanks! I think I had to wait 3 or 4 months for mine to come in. Ernie was a great guy to work with

Are you controlling your labradar with your phone or is that a battery pack. I know they are coming out with that upgrade but I haven't heard of it's release.

Updates?

Still shooting well. Switched over to a Phoenix bipod from the Joypod. I found I was able to control the rifle better with the Phoenix. Do miss the control stick, but being 6'5", I've got long arms that act like the control stick

I'm glad to hear that. I was on the fence between buying a Phoenix and a Joypod. I bought the Phoenix because of the wait time. So far I'm loving it.

Cool! They are both awesome bipods, so you can't go wrong. We all just have our preferences

Hi Dave, been some time since we talked.

I tried the Joypod also and found that I either didn't let go of the control stick or on recoil, my hand was in the way. Went back to the Duplin Rorer bipod.

Hope all is well on the new homestead.
