Abstract
A method for mounting a bipod support to a forearm stock of a firearm or other bipod mounted device permits a user or shooter to selectively allow panning (or altering the aim point along an azimuth), tilting (or altering the orientation of a device relative to a horizontal line) and canting (or orienting a device at a selected rotational orientation relative to an axis of rotation). The bipod support includes lockable controls for selectively limiting panning, tilting and canting in a manner which lets the shooter or user easily respond to changing situations when in the field.
