For those that have "claw feet", do you feel you actually need them or do they just look cool??? Rocks, gravel or ice, I can see that. Dirt or grass, can't see any down side other than having to clean off the dirt or grass.
Thans funny I have some I could part with.. They are amazing for many surfaces, just not all. Soft soil, sand, farm soil unwatered and snow the regular feet somehow seem better. It makes little sense to me, but thats what I see.
All used I have maybe 10 sets, on various bipods.. just like damn scopes..New or used?
Hawk Hill on all of my bipods. Highly recommend.
I agree on the ultra smooth stuff, except add metal. And with the soft loose stuff I mentioned, the sharper edges dig in under recoil and I find in need to adjust the the legs to compensate.
Because he mentioned Hawkhill we all assume he means Bipod..
For our tripods; I use our rock claws alot, but always have the rubber feet with me as well.
General rule for me, man-made shooting platforms are good with the rubber feet. Natural terrain i use the rock claws.
