EBR First Timer Question

[30harry]

I will be going next month shooting an FX Crown 22 and would like input.

Would it be better to shoot a bipod or the Caldwell Precision Turret adjustable swivel/tilt rest?

I have used both and would say absolutely use what you are more comfortable with, I have not found one to out shoot the other? The crown does feel a little better to me on a bag actually, so another personal preference.

Thanks, I can't really tell a difference between the two but was wondering if the format or conditions of the match would make one or the other any better.

I just don't seem as steady with a bag but it could be just lack of experience.

I really like the looks of the Nota benchrest but no way am I spending that kind of dollars on a rest.

Recently saw a Matt Dubber video in which he talked about this very subject. And he says that he and other top shooters use bipod because they make it easier to transition from shooting sighters to targets during the match.

That makes sense and it's probably what I will do also. Although I watched a video on the Nota rest and it was really rapid in transitioning around a target frame too. But the video was just at 25 yards. They didn't show it at longer distances and that made me think the adjustment was probably too coarse when using at 50-100 yards.

Yes. I used bags for a long time, now switched to a good bi-pod because I got sick of adjusting both bags every time I moved targets.
