   I won’t tell you what to do or not with your property: but in all honesty, I think you’re looking for a hardware solution to a software problem (your shooting skill).

   Yes, a bipod will likely help: but so would a sling and knowing how to use it, finding your natural point of aim, and learning how to call shots after you’ve fired.

   You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.

   Most college women’s shooting teams – the gals can put 5-6 rounds inside the same hole – that is why the competiton target has 10 bulls eyes.

   Now – if you are able to put 10rds inside the same hole at 75 yards – and everything goes to heck in a handbasket at 100 – the issue is gonna be the rifle barrel, or, poor ammo.

   Bi-pods are not very useful. If you were hunkered down in the snow at -30F trying to smack a coyote or wolf and didn’t want your gloves or bare hands to freeze to the metal (like the kid with his tongue frozen to the swing set) here you would use a bi-pod. Unless you are in a similar situation – all they do is add un-necessary weight and get in the way. Especially on a 22.

   Start practicing in the prone position, the sitting, then kneeling, then standing. You go to the range – fire 10 or 20rds in each position – start in prone always. After that 80 rds of marksmanship practice – then go have fun and hit reactive targets and pop cans. Keep track of your scores – very important. You will notice your groups and scores will get better with each range time. Standing is the hardest – and – is the one you need to spend the most time workinga at. Because the muscle groups you push while standing are the same ones that will really help in the other positons. . . . . . . and standing gives them best workout. And the worst score – but – any practice is good practice.

   A good Harris bi-pod will cost you about $100. 00. I got my Savage Model 64 for that same price so somehow it doesn’t seem equitable to spend as much as the rifle cost just to add a bi-pod.

   For me, 100 yards is pushing it for my 10/22. Try bench resting your gun on sand bags before spending the money on a bipod.
