davsco Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 just curious why bipods aren't allowed? seems everyone has one already, and given the cost of rifles, it's not a prohibitively costly accessory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Mainly to help seperate it from open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Could it be because most Tactical operators don't use them. The only ones I have seen outside the sport are used by dedicated marksmen. Sports get to set rules and that happens to be one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziebart Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I have a couple of bipods, and agree that many people have them but that is not a good reason for including them in Tactical. You need to split divisions some how or everyone would shoot heads up. Also they aren't needed 90% of the time. Remember our long range targets are supposed to be big enough for irons to shoot, not a sniper match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm against bipods being allowed in Tactical simply so that we can keep some distictions between an Open rifle and a Tactical rifle, which are very close in performance anyway. IF we allowed them, I think they should have to remain on the rifle for the entire match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaSlim Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I dont think I'd run one even in open. Why hang an extra pound off the front end of an already heavy gun? Just so it can get caught on ports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellyn Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I would run a bipod in Open as well depending on the stage. If they were required to be on for the whole match, I MIGHT change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlhead Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Bipods are cool, they make your rifle look all snipery. I wish I had the hips to pul one off, they make me look chubby when I go prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
