My wife and I both use them. Between us(over the last couple of seasons) we've taken three elk and one sheep using sticks. My wife's elk was taken ( at 394 lasered yards) this year using a tree limb for a rest as the shot was up at a very steep angle and the sticks were too short.
We often use them as a little extra support for balance on some of those steep or sidehill climbs. They also help if you are tranversing a snow covered rock/boulder field, you find the holes between rocks with the sticks rather than your leg or ankle!


You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel
