Over the years I've used any numbers of shooting stix, bi-pods and tripods
I have the carbon fiber model DGBP.
It works well for what I do which is mainly stand hunting, consequently weight is not a factor. I'll set it up and leave it until I leave
I find it to be plenty steady for any type of rifle I employ
I recently purchased the ATN HD 4K pro night vision scope for night-time varming and hog hunting.
I can set it up with the rifle securely positioned toward a point of impact and use wi-fi to stream to my tablet.
Don't have to keep my eye glued to the scope. Makes a big difference at night.
ya!
