The Bottom Line
I plan to take it with me when I go squirrel hunting or turkey hunting, and it will definitely be in my pack when I head out to hunt deer. I'm very satisfied with my Bipod Shooting Sticks.
Pros
- Elegantly simple, very tough, easy to use, no moving parts to bind.
- The rubber part against your gun goes on and off easily with no mechanical connection.
- Even without a mechanical connection, this thing won't fall off if it's "loop-locked."
- The carry case doubles as a belt holster for the end of the sticks, so you can be steady anywhere.
- Works great for carrying your gun in the woods. Makes it easier to tote, and keeps it at the ready.
Cons
- The extra end caps that came with mine didn't want to fit the sticks.

Guide Review - 40-inch Bipod Shooting Sticks
This creates a rubber loop that can be placed around your gun's barrel & forend. It grips well and won't damage the gun. You can also cradle your gun's stock, barrel, or magazine tube in this tubing, and it will usually lock on pretty well.
I tried this product while hunting deer, in a variety of positions. Where it really shined was when I sat on the ground with my back to a tree watching a jeep trail which deer had been crossing regularly. I sat on the ground, folded the sticks to 2/3 length, put the bottom ends of them in the carry case for protection and to maintain the spread, and set up. I hooked the toe of the rifle's butt in the right-side pocket of my heavy flannel shirt, and it held the gun at the ready.
Several deer crossed the road, and none of them were in the mood to linger. Thanks to the Bipod Shooting Sticks, I was able to get right on all of them and could have had a nice steady shot had I decided to take one of them. They were all small bucks that morning, however, so they went on their way.
You can use this product as a bipod, monopod or diagonal mono rest, whether you're standing, sitting, kneeling, prone, or somewhere in between. I plan to have it with me when I go squirrel hunting or turkey hunting, and it will definitely be in my pack when I head out to hunt deer. I'm very satisfied with my Bipod Shooting Sticks.
