I can't seem to get enough friction/grip to load the bipod properly, shooting prone on grass and sitting off a concrete bench. Unless my idea of "loading" is grossly off, is there any one that makes more tacky/grippy feet for Harris bipods? Or do I need to entirely switch systems? Thanks!
More "grippy" feet for Harris?

Hawk Hill Talons are pretty hard to beat for just about any terrain. I use them for everything except really smooth concrete or shooting off of something I don’t want scratched, like a finished deck or your truck roof, hood, etc. For those I use Atlas rubber feet. I feel like the Atlas feet are a little bit softer rubber than the Harris feet and grip a little better. I use PASS adapters on my Harris to switch back and forth.
Your perception of how much to load it is probably a bit off, you just need a bit of forward pressure, just enough to take the slack out of the system which the harris legs do pretty well on their own being spring loaded. You dont need enough to be bending the legs back on themselves or anything. And the problem with the harris feet as I see it is that they roll. I went with the tac supply talons but I dont think they exist so the only other option really is the hawk hills. But the point at the center removes the rotational axis from the equation so while the talons can still spin they dont have any radial pressure and stick tight. .
Boltfluter Did you ever get around to designing those harris feet and if so have you looked into making more?

Hawk hill. I thought it was dumb to pay that much for bipod feet at first but they made my atlas 2x as nice in my opionion.
Yes, I am testing the first proto type as we speak. Looks promising, just need to do a little more testing. Considering bringing these to market if there is enough demand.
Thanks, Paul

These guys offer a great option on spiked feet, leg extensions and a some other meet accessories.

I've been using the PodMod adapter with my Harris. It allows you the ability to use the quick change feet that the Atlas uses.
+1 for Hawk Hill. I had an annoying time trying to get them on but they are well worth it. They will grip on concrete but it is fingernails/chalkboard. The down side is you can not use them on any surface that you care about.
