As remarkable as the SnipePod is, there is one rule that must be followed. The SnipePod design is based on the principle of strength inherit to a triangle. Two of the sides of the triangle are actually the legs of the SnipePod. The third leg of this triangle is the ground or supporting surface between the two contact points of the SnipePods feet. As long as the feet have solid grip, the triangle works. However attempting to set the SnipePod on smooth slick surfaces will not allow the triangle to form, and the SnipePod will not "lock in". This eliminates smooth ice, tile floors, and the hoods of most pickup trucks. However, if you are a field hunter, you will not find this a limitation.

So if you are a serious hunter, and if you put in the miles, no other shooting support even come close to the flexibility and adaptability of the SnipePod. It must be experienced to be appreciated!

A small mounting device called a Surrogate Sling Unit (SSU for short) is attached to the rifle. The SSU is manufactured out of 6061T6 Aluminum on a CNC milling machine. The SSU weighs an incredibly light 109.2 grains or .25 of an ounce! There is an elliptical shaped hole in the SSU that allows it to fit over the head of any Industry Standard Q.D. sling stud, and lock firmly to the Q.D. sling stud with a dowel pin/set screw combination.

Every SnipePod comes complete with one (1) SSU. Additional SSUs can be purchased for installing on other firearms. This allows quick shifting of the SnipePod Leg Unit from firearm to firearm.
