Sticks will in effect, double your range of effectiveness. I have killed a lot of coyotes from 200 to 300 yds. I have not tried the tripod version, but like the simplicity of sticks. I also practice a lot off of my sticks, shooting a small 6" steel from 150 to 200 yds. Like anything,practice makes you better. Shoot a 6" steel, and a coyote doesn't look so small.
