RIPP:

I think these must be the ones you have mentioned before?

They sound interesting.

My problem is that the last time I had a chance at a shot from standing that would have allowed time to do any setup of sticks, etc, was, well, never, that I can remember. Here, the timber is so thick that when a shot is taken from standing it is inevitably one demanding speed on a moving or soon-to-move critter.

I can imagine a situation where standing would be necessary and time adequate to set up the sticks, but in reality I don't have many/any scenarios where that occurs here. I have hunted in areas where such tools would be of great assistance, but not really here too much. If standing is not necessary due to ground cover, I sit, elbows on knees. It is my favorite position, one I practice a lot at and we use it all year, during varmint season like now, on targets, sighting in rifles, bear, deer, elk season etc.

In more open country I can see where sticks would be very helpful, and it appears they are assumed and essential gear in Africa these days.
