Bipod feet

[Bayhawk21]

If I missed where this was covered please let me know.

With the talk about beneficial characteristics of bipods I haven't heard or seen much said about benefits of different feet. Mark mentioned that the soft feet of the Atlas bipods can be somewhat detrimental or at least not be as good as others. The elite iron feet seem to be mainly a sled type but they do have a spur to dig into the ground.

So my question is, what type of feet best support general long range marksmanship?

For my personal situation I have an Atlas and will be going to the July class in Alaska. If sled feet or spikes are better it would be helpful to know.

I’m sure spike or sled feet would be more beneficial, someday I’ll buy some spike feet for my Atlas, but you should be fine with what you have for the class. Just be sure that your shooting mat has a lip/straps to load your bipod against. That is how everyone did it in the class I attended.

If I’m shooting on a shooting mat that has loops for bipod feet I use the soft Atlas feet. If I’m on anything soft I use the pointy spikes.

Feet are dependent on the surface you are shooting from

The only think I don't like about the Elite Iron feet is the tiny spike that is always there, sometime I find myself on that alone.

I like Atlas feet, they are not too soft for me, so personal preference applies

I think the rubber atlas feet at the most versatile.
