The Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod 8–11 Inch Notched is a lightweight, adjustable rifle bipod designed to provide dependable support for shooting at the range or in the field. Combining strong carbon fibre legs with a quick-release Picatinny mounting system, it offers a practical balance of stability, portability and adjustment.
Weighing just 340g, this Hawke bipod features tension-sprung notched legs with push-button locks, allowing the height to be adjusted between 8 and 11 inches in repeatable 1.5cm increments. The notched design is particularly useful when setting both legs to a consistent height or making individual adjustments on uneven ground.
A versatile head provides horizontal swivel movement and up to 40° of tilt adjustment to either side, helping accommodate changes in shooting position and uneven surfaces. The legs can also be positioned through a 180° forward and backward range of motion. Supplied with both anti-slip rubber feet and spiked feet, the Carbon Fibre Pro is designed for use across a variety of surfaces.

Carbon Fibre Construction & Stability
The Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod uses lightweight carbon fibre leg sections to help reduce the weight carried on the rifle while maintaining a strong support structure.
At approximately 340g, the notched version is suited to shooters looking for a portable rifle support without the additional weight associated with some heavier bipod designs.
The adjustable legs provide support for prone shooting, benchrest use and other positions where the height and surface conditions are suitable.
Its combination of adjustable leg positioning, swivel movement and tilt control makes it particularly useful when working on ground that is not perfectly level.
Notched Leg Adjustment
This model uses tension-sprung notched legs rather than the smooth twist-lock legs found on the alternative Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro model.
The push-button locking system allows each leg to be adjusted in defined 1.5cm increments, making it straightforward to reproduce a previous height setting.
Both legs can be adjusted independently, which is helpful when positioning the bipod on uneven ground or compensating for differences in surface height.
The notched mechanism is a good choice for shooters who prefer positive, repeatable adjustment rather than continuously variable leg extension.
Mounting & Compatibility
The Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod 71006 is fitted with a quick-release Picatinny mount for attachment to a suitable rail.
The mounting system allows the bipod to be attached and removed without permanently fixing it to the rifle.
Compatible Mounting Systems
- Suitable Picatinny accessory rails
- Rifles with a correctly fitted compatible Picatinny rail or adapter
The bipod does not attach directly to a standard sling swivel stud or an M-LOK slot without a suitable adapter. Check the mounting arrangement on your rifle before ordering.
For rifles without a Picatinny rail, a compatible rail adapter may be required and is not included as standard.
Swivel, Tilt & Leg Positioning
The Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod offers a range of adjustments to help maintain a comfortable and stable shooting position.
Horizontal Swivel
Horizontal swivel movement allows the rifle to be moved left or right without repositioning the entire bipod.
40° Tilt Adjustment
The bipod provides up to 40° of tilt adjustment to either side. A resettable locking lever allows the tilt mechanism to be controlled and secured.
180° Leg Positioning
The legs can be positioned forwards or backwards through a 180° range of motion, offering flexibility for different shooting positions, transport and storage.
Rubber Feet & Spiked Feet
The Hawke Carbon Fibre Pro Bipod is supplied with two different foot options to suit different surfaces.
Anti-Slip Rubber Feet
The rubber feet provide grip on firm surfaces such as shooting benches, mats and other solid supports.
Spiked Feet
The alternative spiked feet are intended for softer outdoor surfaces where additional purchase may be useful.
Both foot types are included, allowing the setup to be adapted to the shooting environment. Spiked feet should not be used on surfaces where they could cause damage.
Notched vs Smooth – Which Should You Choose?
Hawke offers the Carbon Fibre Pro 8–11 Inch Bipod in both notched and smooth leg configurations. Both use lightweight carbon fibre construction and a quick-release Picatinny mounting system, but the leg adjustment mechanisms differ.
| Feature | Notched | Smooth |
|---|---|---|
| Hawke Code | 71006 | 71002 |
| Leg Type | Notched | Smooth |
| Spring | Tension | Compression |
| Leg Lock | Push-button | Twist-lock |
| Adjustment | 1.5cm increments | Continuous |
| Height | 8–11" | 8–11" |
| Weight | 340g | 290g |
| Mount | Picatinny QD | Picatinny QD |
Choose the Notched Version If:
- You prefer positive, repeatable height settings.
- You want quick push-button leg adjustment.
- You regularly need to set both legs to matching heights.
Choose the Smooth Version If:
- You prefer continuously adjustable leg extension.
- You want the lighter 290g configuration.
- You prefer a twist-lock adjustment mechanism.
Both configurations are designed to provide adjustable support. The better choice depends primarily on your preferred adjustment mechanism and whether minimum weight is a priority.
