nice thing about a bi-pod is you have a way of setting your rifle down on the ground by using the bi-pod and even crawling and moving your rifle ahead while crawling on a stalk if you need to keep low. i will always use a bi-pod out west been using them for some 30 years. the bi-pod i prefer is a Harris swivel that can extend to 27 inches so with adjustments i can either sit or lay down to shoot.
