I'm not much for gadgetry and had never heard of or seen a Bog Pod until about ten or twelve years ago while on an elk hunt in very open country in northwestern Colorado. I borrowed a Bog Pod from my hunting partner to make a 320 yard shot that I couldn't have successfully made otherwise. After that trip, I got my own Bog Pod and have used it on a number of elk hunts. It doesn't hurt to practice with these occasionally. At first I noticed shots taken off the Bog Pod at 300 yard targets impacted a little high in comparison with shots fired from a benchrest, though maybe not enough to miss an elk. However, as I got more comfortable with the Bog Pod, I found that shots fired using it had the same point of impact as though fired from a benchrest. This may vary from shooter to shooter, but it's worth checking.
