Anyone here use a Star Shooter carbon fiber bipod? If so how do you like it? Is there anything you dont like about it? I am considering one if I can scrape the cash together or find a good used one.

Thanks
 
I have the lightweight one, and I love it. Leaps and bounds ahead of the 2nd Gen Sinclair I was using, and I saw it in my scores. What's more is that they REALLY stand behind their product. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

If it helps the top 6-7 guys at Nationals this year in F-TR were all using one; can't be a coincidence, right?

the best out there ! I've tried: Sinclair, Harris, Centershot,Duplin...and StarShooter. This is the only bipod that allow me to jam my crosshair with the zoom at 80X. mine is also the lightweight version, a really STIFF bipod like it's supposed to be.

don't do like I did and throw money around, buy the proper one first and your done..)))
 
I am seriously considering the standard version. I dont really need the lightweight version. Now just to keep my eyes open and keep saving.

Thanks
 
The only down side I've seen with the star shooter is the way it attaches. It doesn't quick detach like some other bipod, a good feature to have IMO especially if you're putting on a gun rack at the range (it may get knock over by your neighbor) or lugging it up and down range (ease of carry). Just my two cents.
 
i have owned and tryed many different types of bypods and by far this is the one to own for ftr competition you can meet the weight limit fairly easy with a heavy long barrel,and is very solid and stable when your behind the rifle.you can not go wrong with this set up.

As per the manufacturer's description of product, the front of the feet are cut square to facilitate "loading",
I grant you there are no claws but a smooth sliding recoil, upon firing.
Those who have them think they are the best thing since sliced bread.

like RifleF is saying, the feet are made with a flat in front and a slope behind. The way to shoot those feet is to dig them in the ground (at a max of 2in) and then load the bipod. The recoil will track back and forward without any restriction. The problem with pod claws is that they don't allow the gun to recoil freely and that is causing vertical issue.

Marcel, get in touch with Fred. Unlike most of us he shoots his off the grass so that he can load, and you certainly can't argue with the results.

Yes you got that right. I didn't notice him shooting from the grass. I guess it can certainly work I would have liked to try one but didn't get a chance. I love how low they go something that bothers me with my current setup is that it's too tall especially if I can't go over the mound or if the mound is relatively flat.
