RE: Best shooting sticks?
I tried out the bi-pods last night and I really liked the stoney point rapid pivot bi-pod. I ended up returning the others and bought a 2nd stoney point in the sitting/kneeling length. Practiced out to 300 yards and felt pretty good about it although the groups were nothing spectacular I was consistently hitting the paper and at 300 yards I felt that was pretty good. The BDC rectile worked pretty good also. I have it zeroed in at 200 yards and the 1st circle down was right on at 300 yards. I don't have anywhere on my property where I can practice at 400 yards so I'm not sure about the 2nd circle for 400 yards, but based on my current shooting skills I don't think I'll take a shot out past 300 yards.
I wish I had read about the safari sling before I bought my sling. It is a butler creek alaskan magnum and I had heard good things about it but it is going to take some getting used to because I've never used a sling before.
