I expected exactly the response I got...
I was hoping for something positive and insightful.
As for a moronic design... I have a wall full of awards that say otherwise.
Truth Passes Through Three Stages:
First, It Is Ridiculed.
Second, It Is Violently Opposed.
Third, It Is Accepted As Self-Evident
Arthur Schopenhauer
The first thing is,
One a shooting education would clearly pay for itself in a short amount of time. I would be filling up my fundamental eval with negative things.
Learning to properly shoot a rifle from a bipod can never be taken for granted.
Step one: Straight back behind the rifle
Step two: Recoil Management techniques
Step three: no extra work required - experience is self-evident as being effective in these situations
You are bladed off to the side, your head is rolled over, your finger is dug into the first knuckle and your press is more a finger squeeze vs the correct pad of the finger, straight back 90 degrees. The rifle will always exploit an angle created by the shooter.
Even with a 338, the proper technique can demonstrate, even with a 125LBS shooter the rifle will recoil in a straight line with a minimal amount of movement.
20" AI AX 338 Rifle off a bipod in the field, note the movement, note the recoil pulse, note the distance the muzzle travels in comparison to the objects around it. No spikes, which do work, no straps, no tent pegs in the ground.
But I dig the enthusiasm
