I've had or have pretty much every bipod except the 5000 dollar sky/skcye/cyscke/ckyscke pod, and in my opinion there's no comparison; the accutacs are just a super solid pod in every respect. Both the legs and cant lock up super tight, but are very quick and easy to adjust. I love my atlas but it just doesnt lock up like an accutac. Except for the old rifles or clones where they're wearing the old harrises, I'm currently fitting an accutac to everything I own now. One thing I did to make them a little faster is to relieve some of the leg spring tension by backing the set screw out a tad and re-threadlocking them so it's easy to pull the legs out. They still lock up just as solid too.

• 8/6/4" plates at 300 yards, 1/2/3 point values respectively shot from bench (I think prone was an option but nobody did it that way).
• Five 10-shot strings - shoot a string, go to back of line, wait for next turn.
• Shooter begins with 8" plate, which MUST be hit. If hit, shooter has option to shoot the next smaller plate (6") OR shoot the 8" plate again. If 6" plate is hit, there is the option of shooting the 4" plate - or the 6" or the 8" plates.
• If shooter misses a 6" or 4" plate, he/she has to back up to the next larger plate.
• Before each shot, the shooter must declare which target is being engaged to the spotter on glass.
• Ideally, two ROs per target set are needed: one on glass and one to record each shot's score on a designed-for-purpose score sheet which speeds up and clarifies recording.
• A perfect score is 147. The guys that drove all the way down from Maine to help run and participate in this match said an average score is in low-mid 50s. The guy who won that day shot an 80; median score was 45. Keep in mind that, no matter how good the marksman and rifle, no matter how much is paid for the best .22LR match ammo, no matter how perfect the weather conditions - hitting a 4" plate at 300 yards with a .22 involves luck as well as skill.

• It was fun, but there was too much down time. We had 36 shooters and two target/RO sets. With each shooter taking 4-ish minutes to set up, shoot 10 rounds, and clear the bench, it took around six hours to get everyone through. I would suggest one plate set for each 10-12 shooters, but that would be logistically more difficult.
• Running the match on a "tee time" basis would help greatly - for example, set start times on the hour, 20 minutes after, and 40 minutes after, with 4-5 shooters scheduled for each slot. Of course, this approach would pretty much eliminate any post-match awards presentation. To offset that, the match could be run as a series with an end-of-season gathering.
• Or, of course, just limit the number of shooters. I'm not sure I'd go back to a match with, essentially, 18 shooters on a squad.

While Spuhr fixed the problem, did they ever acknowledge its existence?

Also, did Spuhr ever announce that from X date forward they are using steel side clamps and / or offer to replace the previous aluminum clamps for free?
