BOG Gear Shooting Accessories
About BOG
BOG Gear LLC was founded in 2006 by Kim Hicks with the mission to create superior shooting sticks and hunting accessories.
The company began as an independent manufacturer specializing in monopods, bipods, and tripods for shooting, photography, and videography.
BOG was later acquired by Battenfeld Technologies, Inc., which moved operations to Columbia, Missouri, and now operates as part of GSM Outdoors.
The company revolutionized the shooting stick market with their patented DeathGrip technology and hands-free weapon securing system.
Today, BOG continues to engineer innovative shooting platforms under their motto "Engineered for the Unknown®" to provide guaranteed stability in critical shooting moments.
