    I do use a bipod great in some places and a rubber v shaped-shooting stick, perfect for a S extra help standing shot

    There are many versions of shooting sticks. This is just one.

    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.

    Used docking rings for the last set I made, works good, can adjust ring positions till you get what you want.

    A bipod is a good thing to have for shooting targets, zeroing etc, but often will be less usesful for rabbits due to long grass.

    I would recommend buying one but not a 6-9", they are 95% a waste of time unless shooting from a mound or a shooting bench.
    If getting Harris style also go for notched legs and swiveling, not swiveling bipods are a waste of time IMO.

    For walking around popping bunnies and roos I like a tall bipod to get over the grass/tussock. Can sit behind it. Found anything shorter to be useless. Sometimes even the taller one isn't tall enough.

    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Get a bipod. On sheep grazed areas, the grass is going to short. In bad rabbit areas with high numbers, the grass is going to be short.
    You will surprise you're self with longer shots with the bipod as you will hit more often than not. However just blazing away will train the rabbits to flight as soon as seen or a shot fired. Leave no survivors to teach others to run. Shot to kill every time.
