Introduction

First, I want to Thank you, our valued customers for making this “American Dream” a reality. The Patented Accu-Shot precision monopod was introduced in January 2000 and continues to gain market acceptance as more shooters are exposed to it. Having satisfied customers in every state of the Union and 19 countries is very rewarding. And we are proud that the law enforcement and military communities, at home and abroad are finding a benefit in using the Accu-Shot.

As an alternative to a sandbag, there is nothing else like the patented Accu-Shot on the market, in fact Accu-Shot has been called the “Sandbag of the 21st Century”. Simply put, it solves the problem for the butt of a rifle that a bipod solves for the front, resulting in a stable three point shooting platform. B&T Industries L.L.C. has brought two new models to the public. The BT04 Locking model, which has become our best seller, and the BT06 Extended height Locking model for those shooters wanting to get a bit higher off the ground. B&T Industries L.L.C. is constantly developing new products, including some co-op projects with several well-known manufactures in the shooting industry. Come back for a visit to see what’s new.

History

Here is how it started. In 1997, a good friend, James Starkey, invited me to go on a prairie dog hunt. It was my first long-range shooting experience. Upon arrival, James discovered he had forgotten his sandbag, a crucial tool he used for making elevation adjustments with a bipod. I watched as he resorted to a time-honored, field-expedient solution: putting dirt in a sock — the one he had been wearing.

Later, I was reading an article on precision rifle shooting. In the article, the author wrote about using a "butt bag" to manipulate the buttstock of the rifle while shooting in a prone position. Remembering my friend's dilemma, a thought occurred to me: Why can't a shooter have something that will attach to the rifle easily and quickly that replaces the need for a sandbag? The right tool would attach to the rifle stock, allow for vertical adjustments while using a bipod in a prone position, and ought to be lightweight and compact, locking up out of the way when the rifle is used off-hand.

Months of exhaustive modeling, prototyping and testing followed. We used a Remington 700PSS in .300 Winchester Magnum as a test platform and went through more than 5,000 rounds of factory ammunition. In one tough testing day, 1,060 rounds went down range in nine hours, with Accu-Shot directing the shots. The rifle's throat was utterly spent, and the barrel got so hot it melted the scope cover and warped the stock! It was this design that performed flawlessly we decided upon and thus began the manufacturing and marketing process.

We are Thankful to be Americans and proud of our American made products. We stand behind their quality and durability. If you have any questions, ideas or suggestions about improving Accu-Shot, or have a proprietary subject matter and need help with it, feel free to contact us.

Accu-Shot is the culmination of countless hours of thinking, modeling, designing, drawing, fashioning, testing — and listening. We listened to the suggestions of both professional and amateur shooters who had much to say. We thank all who had a hand in its birth, James Starkey at Starkey Engineering and Design, for help and suggestions beyond the call — but mostly for forgetting his sandbag. John Baxter at ACME Design Co. for all the wise counsel and believing in this project. And many thanks to the machinists, printers, web designers and manufacturers who have helped make Accu-Shot the product it is. Lastly, Thank you for your interest in our product line. We hope that you become a valued customer.
