On the two PG safaris I have been; on the PH expected me to take shots out to 300 yards. They only had tripods at the lodge and I missed a cull impala at 300 so said to limit my range to 250. I was used to quad sticks and will buy a set of these Viperflex Journey for next time as they fold down do fit in any suit/rifle case https://www.viper-flex.com/product/viper-flex-styx-journey-2/
In the UK when I started woodland deerstalking 30 years ago people used a single stick and I was comfortable out to 80 yards, then came along bipod sticks, these extended us out to about 100, then tripod 150 yards but about ten years ago the quad sticks came along and I can comfortably shoot to around 250 yards now on I guess 300 on bigger PG species.
Obviously for DG with shorter distances and greater mobility needed tri or bipods would be more suitable than quad sticks
