Have any of you fellowes ever used one for hunting?
-
I have used them in photography Doc,
And they are great for stabilizing timed shots, in dim lighting. And are very easy to carry along on a shoot. Tripods get in the way of bystanders feet. lol
I have used crossed shooting sticks while hunting, and they worked well, in areas that had high grass and few trees.

Not to much, I'm more less in the wood's somewhere being the bush hehe. There's alway's something to rest the airgun on. Ed

I've used one on occassion, matter of fact I always keep it with the hunting gear that's always stowed away in my truck. A useful tool at times, although like Ed (Shadow) when I'm hunting small game I usually always have a tree limb or something to lean against.
Can be a handy shooting aid though if like Bill said you're in an area where there's nothing to lean against.

Most of my shots are offhand or from a kneeling position. I use hunting as a form of target practice. Not allowed aids in target shooting so I dont use them in the field. I don't want to develope bad habbits.

I need one just to prop me up...lol... ifn' there ain't no trees around to lean against.
