Currently running an Atlas Super Cal with RRS SOAR lever and it's a great piece of kit but I've ran into a couple stages where guys with CYKE-Pods could adjust the legs narrower and get into a solid position the Atlas wouldn't fit and I'd have to use a positional bag.

Question is for strictly PRS what version do you guys think is best?? I'm strongly leaning towards the Gen 2 double pull with the RRS SOAR lever.

I have both as I originally bought the PRS and then a double. Rarely need the double but it is there when the rare opportunity presents, usually during NRL Hunter matches.

Double pull...better to have it and not use it than to not have it and need it...I have only needed to use the extra length a few times but glad I had it.

Would that mean the triple pull would be even better?

If shooting PRS style matches then the PRS height will work just fine or the single if you needed a little higher. I have never needed higher than my PRS could give me at a match. The advantage is you can get the smaller foot print or a much wider foot print if needed.

The double pull is not needed for PRS style matches and I wouldn't even think about using one but if shooting NRL Hunter I would go double pull as they have different stages where it would help.

I have a prs ckye pod i been using for a while, i just been thinking adding a double or triple to my kit, mainly as a back up, or for certain situations. I’ll probably just do a double.

Any downside to using a double pull in a PRS style situation?

I would think it would be similar to a single pull if just not fully extended. Is the PRS / Short version a big advantage at 1.5 inches shorter?

I haven’t found one. For me, if you’re gonna run just one bipod the double pull is probably the most versatile for PRS, PRRS22 and NRL22. There’s been a few times in a NRLH match that I wished I had a triple, but in those situations I just shoot off the top of the tripod.

That would depend on the shooter and if being 1.5" higher would effect their shooting position. Personally I have never needed higher than what the PRS can give me in any PRS style match. As I said if shooting a field match like NRL Hunter the double pull would be more versatile but I see no need for it in PRS.

Probably not max but higher then the mid width max height. One range i shoot regularly is up a mountain and they’ll do prone stages from level ground to the top.

Then I guess you might need it. I have shot in matches like that when I was running Harris and usually just tossed my pack under the bipod but if you feel you have a need for the double pull then get it.

I believe that the ROI on a triple to be not worth it. I personally have seen very few situations where a triple would have been the ticket that a low kneeling position off a tripod couldn't beat....the the tripod is more stable anyhow.

For PRS, the PRS length is perfect. If you need anything higher than that, you need to make better choices. Wasn’t there just a video of Jake Vibbert shooting off of a triple pole all the way up because it looks cute for the video but then later saying it was a dumb idea?

If you shoot matches out west I would recommend a standard height/single pull, for the targets they stick going up the mountains/ridges. I have shot stages that might as well require a ckyepod at Cameo and Raton based on the target vs shooter position.

If you're getting a standard single pull for comps that don't restrict weight, you should just get a double pull. Only downsides are cost and weight; they're the same minimum height but the double provides way more range.

I have a standard, would love to switch to a double, and would never abandon the standard for a PRS model. Pretty rare to have too much bipod, but having too little is very common.

ETA: I'm in the West, so that's a factor as well. If you're shooting very flat ranges it may not matter, but 5 to 10 degrees of elevation needed can very quickly run you out of bipod.

I have owned every version.

Sold the triple pull. It's widely unstable and needs tripod rear to take advantage of it. Bought a double. Never left the pack in 2 years. So I Sold it too.

Run 2 prs length ckyepods. Single will work a bit better to get you higher but the prs works better shooting off stairs and other thin width props.

I would get either the prs or single...which every you can find used cheaper. Paying $600 for a new bipod is bananas. Buy used or wait for black friday.
