Current bipod is an Accu-Tac PC-5 with the normal ball-style feet. So far all my bipod shooting is done on a mat on concrete, though in the near future I expect to be doing some shooting off a mat on grassy surfaces.
I think the ball-style feet have small contact patches and leave something to be desired in stability. I've been looking at both sled and ski feet as upgrades.
It seems like the ski feet are more suited, or used more on, bipods on solid, flat surfaces, such as a bench or table top. The sled feet would to me seem more suited to less uniform surfaces where a greater contact patch is desired .
According to Accu-Tac's website, the sled feet are recommended for the PC bipods where as the ski feet are recommended for fixed bipods, bipods geared towards heavier rifles, or wide bipods where the mount is lower (e.g. WB-4).
Are my assessments about correct here? What do you see as the differences in use-case between ski and sled feet and what would be your decision making criteria?
