[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 1148672, member: 12660"] There a literally a gazillion answers to the question of "the best rest in a given situation"... Some prefer rifle mounted bipods, some shoot better with shooting sticks, others just use their pack. Myself, I use shooting sticks for most shots. The ones I have are perfect for shooting while sitting which is usually tall enough to be above the ground clutter (grass, etc.)...Using just the sticks, I'm fine shooting to around 600 yards or so....give me a tree to lean on while I'm using the sticks and I can take it on out to 800 or so. Shooting sticks are very easy to carry and extremely effective...I even use them shooting from a tree stand, with them on the seat....800 yards, accurately, from a tree (as long as the tree isn't swaying in the wind). I also always carry a pack...a truly wonderful shooting platform in its own right...either prone on the ground when possible...or with it laid across a rock or log. My shooting sticks...
