Hunting Sticks

[coreydb]

The whole purpose of shooting sticks is to provide stability for the shooter while standing, taking the shot. Practicing at home with sticks provides the necessary practice to learn the feel and motion while aiming. All PHs have them because there are no trees from which to lean against in the plains.

Also most trees in Africa have ruddy great thorns sticking out of em if you like the pin cushion look and want to give your trackers PH and game scout a jolly good laugh lean away!

I have a set of Viper Flex Journeys and like them a lot - used on three African safaris with a fourth coming in May. Bought them from Holland Long Range - they break down into a travel pouch and easily fit in tuffpak gun case. I like them because they support both the front and rear of the rifle and take all that circling around the target out of play. YMMV but I find them stable down to MOA from 50 to 300 yds (furthest Id probably shoot in Africa).
