STUD of Rochester, NY has just released a new product for the Benchrest Shooter, the STUD Ultrapod.
What is does - The STUD Ultrapod is a precision elevating device, that allows the bench rest shooter the ultimate in vertical, point of impact control. It is an easy to stow device, that replaces "squeeze bags" and fixed rear stock adjustment devices etc. It easily stows in your range bag and allows very precise control over the shooters vertical point of impact.
Why we made it - Doug, the owner of STUD likes to "play shoot" benchrest even though he is not very good at it (actually, he stinks at it). However in 2020, after trying every kind of squeeze bag, stock elevator and rest he could find, none really "worked". The squeeze bag worked best, but he got tired of "resetting" it after every shot. The first prototypes were made in winter of 2020 and the final design was completed this spring, with patents etc. recently filed. They are currently available in limited quantities, on the STUD site now.
How we did it - The STUD Ultrapod final design ended up with a series of large diameter "sleeves" that telescope within one another on a series of (3) helical threads. This afforded the stability required for a rock solid base and a 2" travel. The Ultrapod also features a bubble level that can be zeroed to horizon with (3) stainless levelers. The top platform features a roller bearing platform that stays stationary as the elevator ring is rotated.
Pyramyd Cup - Please visit us at the Pyramyd Cup in August. We will be there under the STUD tent with all our products. We are looking forward to meeting you in person!
