I agree. Shooting off sticks is not second nature. One should practice before making the trip.

I’ve never seen a pair of bipod sticks in 17 safaris in Africa….. Tripod practice is essential, though. As a handgun hunter, I had my PH pull a bipod of lightweight sticks from his truck. I didn’t use them, and always just use my own tripod set up exclusively now.

I think bipod stocks are far better than tripods.
Why?
By slightly moving forward or backward you can quickly adjust for elevation.
As for monopods I can shoot more accurately offhand.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Tripods for sure, I've been twice & they were the answer if a shot got a little bit on the long side. Using a bipod can possibly make it easier for elevation adjustments but there's no support on the back & that's a big game changer for most people. What ever you use make sure you practice a bunch with it, and also from offhand shooting because that always comes into play in Africa, it did for me. I was using revolvers.

We used bipods for my hunt in Zim. There were no tripods to be seen. I agree with IndyCA35, bipods are the best for me. Whatever you choose, practice with it ahead of time.
