Re: Macintosh Precision FTR bipod
How are we looking mate
Firepower usally means an increased number of misses per minute. 50 misses are not firepower. One hit is firepower

Re: Macintosh Precision FTR bipod
Great to follow the progress with the FTR bipod. The use of high-quality materials like 6061-T6 aluminum and high-modulus carbon fiber is impressive
I noticed some discussion about the "bounce" with heavy rounds. Have you considered using stiffer leg materials or adjustable leg stiffness options to minimize this?
Also, regarding the right foot lift on recoil mentioned by Tim L, testing different mount types might help reduce this effect. MacP, are you planning any future features like quick-change legs or adjustable dampers?

For those that are interested I have come up with a few design changes and will be testing again this weekend weather permitting.

Tested the bipod this weekend. 60 with 6 X's. I'll keep on updating as I go.
