Since I'm a little physically challenged I use my long BogPod as a walking stick with a PSR rest on top. Might seem a little strange, but works great for me. I've used it in Africa, many of the western states and full time in WV. I shoot XPs, Encores, Contenders, semiautos, and large revolvers (.454, .475, .500) off it. One or 2 shots from the big revolvers have not affected the PSR. For more shots I put a piece of elephant hide under the cylinder. I use the same hide when shooting off my backpack.
This system has worked for 20+ years. Never had problems with it or saw a need to change.
