Very impressive!!!
Man I'm a 3 legged pod and not always stable...... get itTwo-legged sticks are more than stable, when used properly...
I do alright with a sling sitting and prone (HPR service rifle competition) but, since my heart attack and pacemaker implant, my heart beats 80-90 beats per minute and shakes me to my core. My standing unsupported has gone down the drain this summer. I'd go with shooting sticks bi or mono. There is a mono with a trigger that could be useful, I am looking too.I've been hunting and shooting for probably 60 of my 75 years. I read all I can to improve my skills. And now I am trying to decide on the purchase of either a bi pod or shooting sticks. In the past I have relied on using the best available rests: trees, fence posts, cushioned rocks, and the list goes on. Which rest do you use - bi pod or shooting sticks - and why?
I have used bi pods for years and wouldn't be with out one. In recent years have been using shooting sticks. A 3 legged extendable one. If I am out big game hunting the sticks are what I carry. There are times when you are just over the crest of a hill or other circumstances like taller vegetation where a bi pod just will not work. Shots can be made from a standing position if you have practiced and know your limitations. Sometimes you just need a higher shooting position. Also, they can be spread out enough to shoot from a sitting position. You will find they also are a great support for glassing. The sticks can also make a great walking aide. As for predator hunting where I know I will be sitting the bi pod is what I use. With all that being said if I had to choose just one I would probably opt for the sticks because of greater versatility. Just my 2 cents worth.I've been hunting and shooting for probably 60 of my 75 years. I read all I can to improve my skills.
