Vanguard Quest BiPod/TriPod for Field Target use

I'm looking to get my first bipod for Hunter Field Target comps and I'm considering the Vanguard Quest T62U.
It's a tripod that allows 1 leg to be removed for use a bipod. It's also a tall version but the specs say it goes as low as 27" which seems fine to me. This configuration would let me use it for many other things when I'm not using it for Field Target. Has anyone tried using this model for Field Target and was it acceptable?

They must all be out practicing
I am not aware of tri-pods being used in any of the FT matches I have participated in, bipods though are allowed. I was encouraged to try a Primos Trigger stick Bi-pod at a match, as I was just shooting off my knees in a sitting position, and doing ok, but after trying the Trigger stick I bought my own.
Here are The FT rules for all classes, look to see where you fit in.

James, thank you for your reply. I went ahead and ordered the Vanguard Quest T62U and it looks like a very nice bipod/tripod.
As you alluded to in your post, tripods are not allowed to be used in field target. The beauty of this tripod is that you can remove one of the legs making it just a normal bipod. And that's the configuration I'll use it in for field target matches. But I have other scenarios I want to use it in both standing and sitting as a more stable tripod and it allows for that beautifully. It also can be used as a tripod to mount other things on like a camera. Another benefit of this model is in bipod mode it seems to be much sturdier than the Primus Trigger bipods or Bog Pod Havoc bipod.
I'll see how it goes in an actual match later this month.
