RE: Best shooting sticks?
I made my own.Two 4 ft long5/8" diameter dowel sticks from Lowes. Drill a 3/16 hole thru both about 10 inches from the end. Use an outside flat washer, a middle washer and another outside washer inside the nut. Then superglue the nut on. I wound tape around where the gun would set so it would not scrape the stock. I also wound several wraps around the legs to keep them from banging together as I walked.
Greatas a walking stick also. I use a small campbag chair ($4.97 at WM)on my stand with the sticks in from of me. The shooting sticks I bought whereeither to long or too short. Mono-sticks did not work good for me.
Less than $5. If you lose or break them, no great loss.
The only shooting sticks I would like to try are the ones built into the sling.
