What's under your FTR bipod?

So long as the rules are clear and apply to everyone, there's no reason to limit what it takes to shrink groups and improve performance, the best and most dedicated shooters will always come out on top in every discipline.
TR has evolved a lot too since its beginning and new bits of equipment keep coming, keeps things interesting. As much as people talk that FTR/FO, BR is all equipment and money race, TR isn't any cheaper to get into if you want up to date equipment... I was looking making a TR rifle for next year, I'd be 4-5K into it and that's with making my own stock and some other stuff myself... (had to put that project on hold )

I find it more fun to have to catch up than to try to hold people back, which sadly a lot of shooting disciplines seem more intent on doing, kills the fun and doesn't help bring new shooters in.

My grief with it is just that - smaller groups discourage new shooters. I started shooting prone with an Omark and surplus ammunition and had lots of fun working on improving. No need to have the newest, fanciest thing.

I think there's many things that can discourage new shooters, but if the idea of having to shoot small groups/high scores and improving on that discourages them, they picked the wrong sport.
In this particular case of rigid plates under bipods, we could say it helps even out the playing field where shooters are a bit less at the mercy of whether they end up on a good or crappy spot on the firing line. I imagine in a few more seasons something will come out on top and most will be using it.

I still shoot FTR with a Rempel bipod off the end of a trifold mat - grass or gravel ... it works well for me. I might put a mudflap under the mat to raise it up or to level some really bad mounds, but that's about it. Press it down and cycle the rifle a couple of times to make sure it tracks straight.

What's under your bipod Jerry? If you don't mind me asking.

Carpet bolted to a stair tread from RONA.

Just pound into the grass if shooting at Connaught.. that is some deep grass.
