Re: Shooting Sticks

I was just wondering how often are shooting sticks used for plains game with a magazine rifle. They seem to figure prominantly in visual literature about hunting in africa. What have your experiences been ?
Cheers.
I have used them in Africa for a fair amount of plains game shooting and use them a fair bit in Oz at home on small game and deer.
In Africa an advantage is a tracker or the PH carries them and sets them up for you. Carrying them yourself and putting them up yourself takes more time. Use of them on game at close range however is NOT advantageous as the extra movement often alerts game and causes them to run.
