During my one and only trip to RSA our PH had a set of the Stoney Point sticks and he was adroit at setting them in front of you while you were getting the rifle ready and figuring out which animal he wanted you to shoot. I didn't feel like I "needed" them but only a fool doesn't take advantage of support that's already where you need it.

Someone let a pack of dogs loose inside one area we were going to hunt the first night we were there (apparently a poacher's trick) and I loaned my 9,3x62 to the PH so he could prevent them from harrassing the game. Early the next morning I was getting ready and heard "BOOM!" right outside my chalet. When I went outside the PH was walking across the grounds with rifle in one hand and shooting sticks in the other. I asked "what didja shoot?" and he pointed to a medium size dog whose remains were sprawled in a flower bed @60 yards away. And he said "never used the shooting sticks before but thought if the damn Americans could use them I could too".

We tried to explain that we don't normally use them either and frequently take deer out past 100yds, but I don't think he ever believed us...
