40" Bipod Shooting Sticks

This versatile product can be used as a bipod, monopod or diagonal mono rest, whether you're standing, sitting, kneeling, prone, or somewhere in between. I have the 40" model, and I've used mine while deer hunting in a variety of positions, and it worked very well.

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

Cons

This is one of those products that seems to be a no-brainer, but at the same time it's ingenious. Each side is comprised of three sections of tough black composite material, shock-corded together with metal sleeves to give them rigidity. It's a lot like a collapsible tent pole. At the top, there is a small length of rubber tubing that joins the two sides and acts as a pivot point, and another length of rubber tubing attaches the two 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 that the deer were crossing. 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.
