Got in deeper than I wanted to today with my new 40-X bi-pod
CYA friends:
Man, 65 degrees today, so I wanted to shoot my 40-X pistol cause it's turning colder tomorrow, and next week.
But I got into more than I bargained for in building my new bi-pod.
I wanted the legs to be pointed so to engage the Eley ammo trays easily.....instead of the rubber feet I normally use.
But like anything else, the job entailed much more than I anticipated when I went to bed last evening dreaming about it.
But I got it done.......and I'm wore out....
CYA friends, by the time I finished it was almost dark, and the temp going down, and the wind picking up...
So there was no way I could shoot this evening....
CYA friends, it's still mid winter, even though it was very mild today.

I have everything ready as soon as we get another break in the weather...
I'm well pleased with what I did accomplish today with this pointed foot bi-pod.
And man I wish I could have shot it today.
Your friend, Bill Calfee

I wound up making up all new aluminum hardware for this bi-pod....
Even though the legs aren't adjustable now, should this pointed foot bi-pod work successfully, I can make them adjustable.
I was going to just press the legs into the aluminum hardware, but I decided to take my time and bolt them in properly....
