"BigFive" demonstrating the use of full length shooting sticks

I had never used shooting sticks before my 2002 safari but found them very useful in making steady shots.

Mpofu is right though. They certainly did scare some game away, especially when close, so off-hand shots are better when the game is closer.

The set I used in Zimbabwe were more of a tripod with bolts with two attached higher up and one of the two and the third attached a couple of inches lower with another bolt.
