Designed with the varied needs of hunters in mind, the Stalker QD42 bipod, from Swagger, provides enough versatility to shoot supported over the soft walls of a ground blind, while still retaining the ability to collapse short enough for use in the prone position. With a maximum height of 41.5", the Stalker QD42 is raised and lowered via turn-dial legs. Topside, its namesake "Quick Detach" technology makes for easy mounting to everything, from bolt-guns to crossbows. A unique facet of its design, the Stalker QD42's legs do not have a solid connection to the mount, but rather hinge to it on springs, making pivoting easy and quiet when tracking game. 

Easily attachable, the Stalker QD42 can be paired to a wide variety of shooting platforms via an adapter, or directly via a sling-swivel stud mount. For transportation or storage, the Stalker QD42 can be detached with just the press of a button, and reattached just as seamlessly.
