I've seen some very tall shooting sticks but have never used them. Are they all that steady? It looks like they'd really take some getting used to. Best wishes.

I see them on tv in Africa a lot.
I don't know, but it seems to me that they would be a little awkward

I use a strange type bipod, not good in all situations. Maximum elevation is only about 16". The 2 legs are not adjustable. The U shape to hold the forearm is connected to about an 18" tube and this inserts through a hole between the legs. The U shaped cradle holds the forearm with a neophrene piece. Adjustments are made by sliding the tube up through the center of the legs and held at the height you want by a winged screw at the top of the centerpiece. The whole thing weighs next to nothing, and when I bought it (now have 2 of them) 25 years ago it costs me all of $8. Man if it was made today it would drive Harris and the others out of business. It's a marvel of simplicity. You could actually make it quite easily.
Best wishes, Cal - Montreal

Cal, I think Forster made those, or something similar. I had one for years, was gold anodized aluminum, and I wish I could find the darn thing.......
