Shooting sticks are the bomb. I would alwayswant to have a pair when hunting big open country (out west).
something like this:
Stoney Point Steady Stix™ II Shooting Sticks - Black
Lightweight, rugged aluminum legs fold to 14" for transport, assemble to 39".
Color: Black.
Item: XG 222262
$34.99
that's from cabelas
I like them a lot better than say, a bi-pod---they're lighter and you can hook them with a snap release to your fanny pack for a "quick set-up"
