    Accu-shot Monopods - what say ye?

    I've been looking at these for a whole 2 hours and im wondering what they're like to shoot with. If anyone has used one, are they actually usefull? Are they allowed in long range comps and the like?

    I hate them. They're nowhere near as fast and easy to adjust, stable, or flexible to use as a rear bag, dig into the ground etc. Avoid.

    I brought one second hand from a forum member who can't believe I haven't thrown it away but I quite like it. It certainly doesn't suit every occasion though
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Been there, done that, moved on. Have yet to find myself in a situation where I thought I wish I still owned one.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I was that person, used it like twice....Then back of the cupboard, I found it hard to set fast, not very stable, and when shooting on angles made the gun hard to shoulder properly.
    As gimp said rear bag.

    I am glad I didn't do my usual trick and buy on impulse. I gotta say they market them well but I did notice they didn't make any claims on range accuracy, just 'siting in'. I don't know what use that would actually be if the device doesn't improve firing accuracy.

    Where to find a really good bag?. Not looking for a caldwells one

    Cheers fellas for the solid advice on these.

    I'm glad I read this, I was going to fit one to the rail on the bottom of my acs stock. You all just saved me $150 odd.
