The shooting sticks are a great aide in shooting especially in tall grass or brush. Almost all PH's have the bipod two stick arrangement some have a three stick tripod that is even steadier but slightly slower to set up. Not familiar with the RRS tripod but I use a Gen III trigger stick and it works well. It can be deployed single handed but usually takes two hands to set up. Many cases either the PH or a tracker set the sticks up and sometimes would steady them for the shot. Best to practice with your own equipment and set it up yourself and bring it on the trip.

I agree practice makes perfect unless you over do it and develop a flinch. Don't let this happen stop and shoot something else if your shooting or aiming form gets worse even slightly. Always bring a 22 or light rifle to alternate with while the barrel cools.
