always use sticks when i can. i like the trigger stick tripod because i'm on uneven ground a lot and prefer the 'on the fly' adjustment. you can usually tell from the vid if i'm using them or not. if the scope bounces badly i'm probably freehand or resting the mag on the top, hood or just shooting out the window.

only screwup is when i swing so far left or right that i have to move and bump a tripod leg with my foot
