Although relatively new to the firearms world, Arca Bipods are catching on pretty quickly. With adapters and attachments for Picatinny Rails, this new quick detach system for bipods and Tripods is seen more and more at precision shooting competitions. As a result, many law enforcement agencies are starting to use Arca Bipods, and they’re beginning to be adopted by hunters. Some of the most popular lines are the PSR from ATLAS Bipods and the Ckye-Pod from MDT.![]()
The Arca mount was invented by the Arca-Swiss company in the 1990s and was originally used by photographers, particularly those with very heavy cameras. It is still used for photography but has recently been applied to firearms.
Today they are offered by top-name companies like ACCU-TAC, Harris Bipods, and more!
The Arca Bipod is a system that allows you to mount a rifle, but instead of being static like a Picatinny rail mount, it allows you to move the rifle forward or rearward as conditions dictate. This gives you the functionality of being able to get an ideal balance from different shooting positions. It also allows for QD (Quick Detach) when you need to swap or when mobility is key.
