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.
Ditto.
However, the Harris bipods I found in the 80s were too short for me to easily use while sitting. My brother convinced me to use a shorter one that is easier to use while prone.
Once I had my injury, I found I could more easily walk on rough ground with trekking poles. I used them for shooting from sitting. They worked quite well.
