I whent to my local Sportsmans Warehouse last night and while drooling,I mean looking around,I saw a 30" Snipepod.I have been lokking at them on their website but had no idea that they were that small in diamater.
Has anyone used these?Are they stronger than they look?I couldnt take them out of the package to inspect.
For 100 clams I want to make sure its money well spent.
Thanks in advance. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

I have wore out two sets of snipe pods, and while I really like them, it's hard to reccomend them for heavy use.

I use the Snipepod and really like it. The Snipepod gets used the most for coyotes but I keep them folded up in pack when hunting big game and doing the walk around varmint shooting thing also. Nice and compact, and don't hardly weigh anything, and you have them if you need them. So far my set has held up fine.

Check out the Stoney Point telescoping bipod. I have the compact model, 16" to 38" and really like the fact that when it comes time to carry a critter back to the truck, I can 'scope them down and stick them in my belt. I've only been using them this season, but so far....no problems.

Thanks for the feedback,its helped me alot.
I had been leaning towards these bi-pods so I'm glad to hear there not flimsy.Like I said,the size through me for a loop.
As far as heavy hunting,I go on two hunts a year max.Lots of working up loads at the range though.
Again,Thanks

We should also mention that one of our members #702 Brent Rueb, who is the promoter of the St Francis Midwest hunt contest; also makes and $ells a line of shooting sticks.

I have had 2 sets and got rid of both sets. I thought they weren't stable enough for longer distance shots. I went with the shooting sticks as well.
