No offense taken. I shoot almost every day. I make my money on fundamentals. Maybe I wasn't clear enough, short as it was. I said I shoot the same. My down range performance is no different. I didn't say the recoil impulse was the same, or that the steadiness of the gun was the same. There are obviously differences between those bipods, and some of them take more work than others to get the job done. The point is, when you do the work, the results are there. IME, good shooting is not a result of which bipod you use.
You are an EI dealer, no? You're selling $1000 guns to students, and telling them to put $600 bipods on them. Most would probably recommend spending that money on a better scope, rifle or more ammo. I don't necessarily disagree with your recommendation, but what I don't get is the next part.
"An Elite Iron Revolution bipod will take any shooter and rifle to a whole new level in prone."
Are you saying that before the EI came about, you couldn't shoot well from prone? I've always liked top of the line gear, but it is the shooter, not the gear that matters. I understand recoil control, and if you noticed, my preferred bipod is the RPS, which is very similar to the EI in how it handles stability and recoil.
So, back to my original question, slightly more fleshed out, what are you seeing with the EI bipod that makes you say what you said? Is it the recoil control, or is there more? You guys are shooting on dirt up there, right? Have you shot the EI on cement? What do you see in that case?
