I HATE shooting off a bipod, plus it's just another awkward bulky item to carry, shoot out to 800 on steel piece off piss off a backpack and regularly shoot animals out past 500 off a backpack also, I'm also not a cowboy and will only pull the trigger if I'm 100% comfortable I know I can put it where I want it, each to their own though. Rangefinder, clicky bits, and knowing shot angle and what the wind is doing is a must though, air pressure is pretty important too past 300 if you want your projectile to go (exactly) where you want it to go.
