TBAC Bipod for practical field shooting
Thunder Beast Arms has been kicking around the idea of a bipod for half a decade; in 2017 they tasked their R&D engineers to start working on it. They combined the ideas from each of their “favorite” bipods, optimized them for actual field usage models, added a few new innovations and good ideas, and then tested the hell out of it for over a year. The result is what we just call the TBAC Bipod.
