Hey guys!
I came to realization that I will greatly benefit from having some device to stabilize my rifle when hunting and shooting from standing or kneeling position (I will likely be taking relatively long shots -- 200-300 yards -- in areas where there are no trees or bushes to help stabilize rifle). I've narrowed down my options to a 24-61-inch bipod or tripod from Primos.
I understand that bipod would weigh less - which is a plus. It might also be faster - another plus.
But, how much am I gaining in terms of stability when using a tripod? Stability is what I'm after. Any other advantages/disadvantages of bipods v. tripods that aren't very obvious to new hunters, like myself? I'd really appreciate some advice! Thanks in advance.
