Due to an argument.........
Due to an argument I have been having with my dad,
I decided to post this question. I just bought a bipod for my .270 for deer season this year and really like it. My dad thinks it is the most ridiculous thing he has ever seen.
My question is- How many of you have a bipod or shooting sticks for yourdeer rifle??
I just wanted to see if I was the onlyperson that uses a bipod for deer hunting, or if there were other people out there that liked to use them.

RE: Due to an argument.........
i have 3 sets of harris bipods,iuse them mostly for varmint hunting. some places i hunt have lots of fields so i sometimes use them for deer hunting to. i also have a set of stoney point shooting sticks. they are great when i hunt powerlines where the grass is to high for bipods and i may need to shoot 300yds plus. when i'm hunting i just carry them like a walking stick ,if a deer runs out on a powerline i'm on one knee fast with the sticks.
i know people that won't use them to,but they are the ones missing deer at long range also.when that buck of a life time appears ,i'd just as soon be ready.

A good rest IMO is a requirement. I hunt on the ground 100% of the time and finding a suitable rest can be problematic, a bipod or shooting sticks instant solution.
I can understand his viewpoint being I too was taught and learned to shoot off hand. It was how it was done before these aides were common, older dogs take time to learn new tricks
. Have him shoot off yours, he may just change his opinion slightly. I know I rarily shoot off hand anymore, it just gives more more confidence to have a solid hold.
