I just received it and tried it inside since it's freezing cold outside.
I think that your paracord preset is awesome and I'm going for something like that.
I suspect it's mostly my floor but the legs are spreading by themselves just with the weight of the gun. I guess in the woods it'll stick to the ground fairly. Also, the terrain will mostly be uneven as well.
I find the legs a bit weak then they are at full length.
