A note about shooting sticks and or tripods
When you go ask a couple months before you leave what kind of stix your PH will be using on your hunt
Make or buy these and practice a lot
My wife and I practiced 5 days a week for the last month before we left
30 to 40 rounds each of 22LR at 80 yards at a 4" steel gong
Then we would cap off the session with 2 or 3 each from the -06 at a 6" gong at 100
There are several techniques that fellow 24 and AR member conveyed to us that made us near automatic
After using wood, bamboo and Bogpod tripods my PH used the Primos Trigger Sticks Tall Tripod
Of the 4 it is head over heals the best......so good I now own one for hunting here in the USA
On 9 hour days of constant binocular use shooting is the least of the use these will fall into........they are awsom binocular rest for standing and glassing
