New F Class bi pod rest ("The Long Shot")

[bryanjp]

Hello, I am a machinist and a fellow F Class shooter. I just manufactured a new rest and would like to get some feed back on how you like them. Check out the website link.

That's very interesting. 2 lbs seems a little heavy for a T/R rig though...

I developed it mainly for shooting F Class prone position and going prairie doggin. Weight wasn't a main concern. Do you think people would carry this in the field if I lightened it up?

1/2 the weight of a remple which is nice. I Would like to see a thumb wheel adjustment for height on the legs.

The legs themselves look a little thin, is there any "wobble" in them?

Everything is very rigid. I will take the micro adjustment in the legs. Some of the guys at F Class league suggested the same thing. I has a Sinclair F Class rest and didn't like the adjustments so I designed one that eliminated my concerns. Thanks for the input! I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for all of the orders today. Please email me feedback when you receive your bipod. I will keep all of you in the loop to test some of the new accessories I come up with for "The Long Shot".

Bryan,

I like the levels, and the numbered spots on the legs. The weight is okay, but lighter is always better. As mentioned, the Remple bipod is around 4 lbs, the Gen II Sinclair is around 2-2.25, but the CenterShot bipod (carbon fiber and aluminum version of the Remple) is about 1.25 lbs, and a GG&G bipod is around .75 lbs, to give you an idea of where yours stands.
