The Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod 8–11 Inch Smooth is a lightweight, adjustable rifle bipod designed to provide reliable support for shooting at the range or in the field. Featuring strong carbon fibre legs, continuously adjustable smooth leg sections and a quick-release Picatinny mounting system, it combines stability, versatility and low weight in a practical design.
Weighing just 290g (10.2oz), this Hawke bipod uses compression-sprung smooth legs with twist-lock adjustment. Each leg can be extended independently within the 8–11 inch height range, allowing precise positioning without being restricted to fixed notched increments. This makes the smooth version particularly useful when fine-tuning the height on uneven ground or adjusting the shooting position.
The adjustable head provides horizontal swivel movement and up to 40° of tilt adjustment to either side, helping the rifle remain level when shooting from uneven surfaces. The legs can also be positioned forwards or backwards through a 180° range of motion. Supplied with interchangeable anti-slip rubber feet and spiked feet, the Carbon Fibre Pro Smooth Bipod offers adaptable support across a variety of shooting environments.

Carbon Fibre Construction & Stability
The Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod uses lightweight carbon fibre legs to reduce overall weight while maintaining a strong, supportive construction.
At approximately 290g, the smooth model is around 50g lighter than the equivalent notched version. This makes it particularly appealing to shooters who want to minimise additional equipment weight without sacrificing the convenience of an adjustable rifle support.
The 8–11 inch height range can accommodate prone shooting, benchrest use and other suitable shooting positions, depending on the rifle setup and ground conditions.
Its combination of independent leg adjustment, swivel movement and controlled tilt makes the bipod useful when shooting from surfaces that are not perfectly level.
Smooth Twist-Lock Leg Adjustment
Unlike the notched Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod, this model uses smooth compression-sprung legs with twist-lock adjustment.
The smooth design allows each leg to be extended to the required position within its adjustment range without being restricted to preset notches.
To adjust the height, release the twist-lock mechanism, position the leg to the required extension and secure the lock before use.
Because each leg can be adjusted independently, the bipod can be configured to compensate for uneven surfaces or to fine-tune the shooting height.
This configuration is particularly suited to shooters who prefer continuously variable adjustment rather than the fixed increments of a notched bipod.
Mounting & Compatibility
The Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod 71002 features an integrated quick-release Picatinny mounting system.
This allows the bipod to be fitted to a suitable Picatinny accessory rail and removed when not required.
Compatible Mounting Systems
- Suitable Picatinny accessory rails
- Rifles fitted with a compatible Picatinny mounting adapter
The bipod does not attach directly to a standard sling swivel stud or an M-LOK slot without a suitable adapter.
For rifles equipped with an M-LOK handguard or a sling swivel stud, an appropriate Picatinny conversion adapter may be required. These adapters are not included with the bipod.
Always check that the mounting rail or adapter is securely fitted and compatible before using the bipod.
Swivel, Tilt & Leg Positioning
The Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Smooth Bipod offers several adjustment options to accommodate different shooting positions and terrain.
Horizontal Swivel
The horizontal swivel mechanism allows the rifle to move left and right without having to reposition the bipod feet.
40° Tilt Adjustment
The bipod offers up to 40° of tilt adjustment to either side. A resettable locking lever provides control over the tilt mechanism.
180° Leg Positioning
The legs can be positioned forwards or backwards through a 180° range of motion, providing flexibility when deploying, folding or repositioning the bipod.
Together, these adjustments help accommodate uneven ground and changes in shooting position.
Rubber Feet & Spiked Feet
The Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod is supplied with interchangeable rubber and spiked feet, allowing the support to be adapted to different surfaces.
Anti-Slip Rubber Feet
The rubber feet are suitable for firm surfaces such as shooting benches, mats and other solid supports where grip and surface protection are important.
Spiked Feet
The alternative spiked feet can provide additional purchase on softer outdoor surfaces.
Both foot types are included with the bipod. Select the appropriate feet for the shooting surface and avoid using spiked feet where they may cause damage.
Smooth vs Notched – Which Should You Choose?
The Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro 8–11 Inch Bipod is available in smooth and notched leg configurations. Both feature carbon fibre construction, a quick-release Picatinny mount and adjustable support, but their leg mechanisms differ.
| Feature | Smooth | Notched |

Choose the Smooth Version If:
- You prefer continuously variable height adjustment.
