This guide details how to create and install a paracord pull on a rifle bipod, specifically a Harris type, to improve efficiency in shooting matches. The process involves tying a cobra knot with paracord around the bipod legs, allowing for quicker adjustment and closure of both legs simultaneously, particularly useful on barricades. The instructor emphasizes proper knot tension and secure finishing of the paracord ends.

Quick Summary

A paracord pull on a rifle bipod enhances shooting match efficiency by enabling quick, simultaneous adjustment of both legs, especially useful on barricades. Use about one foot of paracord per inch of bipod leg width, wrapping it above the sliding mechanism and below the spring. The cobra knot is ideal, and the ends should be melted and flattened for security.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a paracord pull on a rifle bipod?

A paracord pull on a rifle bipod is designed to enhance efficiency in shooting matches. It allows the shooter to quickly and simultaneously adjust or close both bipod legs, which is particularly advantageous when engaging targets from barricades or other unstable shooting positions.

How much paracord is needed for a bipod pull?

A general guideline for determining the amount of paracord needed is to cut approximately one foot of paracord for every inch of the bipod leg's width. For example, if the bipod legs are about 6 inches wide, you would need approximately 6 feet of paracord.

Where is the best place to attach the paracord to a bipod leg?

The paracord should be wrapped around the bipod leg just above the part where the legs slide in and out, and below the spring mechanism. This placement ensures the paracord does not interfere with the bipod's ability to extend, retract, or maintain stability.

What knot is used to create a paracord bipod pull?

The cobra knot is the recommended knot for creating a paracord bipod pull. This knot is tied by alternating sides, creating loops and passing the cord through them, ensuring a tight and secure attachment to the bipod legs.
