The picture of the shooting sticks got me to thinking. I used them in S. Africa. Then, just this year I had two opportunities at Mulies in the 270-315 range that I simply could not create a stable platform to take a shot. Rocks and brush in front of me and trees in my line of sight made it a challenge. Being on a moderate downhill slope, shooting to an opposite slope, along with the bushes and grass ruled out prone. Probably could have made kneeling work but some branches were in the way. Anyway, some sticks would have really been handy if I’m being honest. (And a lot more field shooting...) Primarily because sticks are so fast to set up, and then quickly shift if necessary. I need to look into combining walking sticks as shooting sticks.
