People have been shooting off sticks since the days of the arquebus.

NOT in the SADF

************************
Bipods were on much of the issue weaponry ?

Not the old R1 which many of us "oldies" used
Unless you were *lucky*  to have a heavy barrel - which had a bipod

Do you have a photo of the quad sticks?


Mine are very similiar to the image below - 18mm dowel I think and a couple L brackets + bolts.


I think that old guy is getting himself ready for a .. "scope-kiss"

Does no-one use the old methods any longer ? ( Before "sticks" )
Prone / Kneel / Sit / Use a tree branch - Rock


I find these way more stable and able to take a longer shot if needs be then the kneel, seated knees or tree method. I haven't spent range time shooting from those positions but have spent a fair amount of time of the sticks.

Your cross hair only moves vertically, not elliptically so easier to control I find.

If you have a guide, he can setup them up quickly but it does mean a bit of movement as you get your rifle into position.]]> General Hunting Discussion DaavG https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/equipment-used-on-my-hunt/#post-5058 Re: Equipment used on my hunt https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/equipment-used-on-my-hunt/#post-5057 Mon, 12 Aug 2024 05:58:34 +0000 General Hunting Discussion DaavG https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/equipment-used-on-my-hunt/#post-5057 Re: Equipment used on my hunt https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/equipment-used-on-my-hunt/#post-5056 Mon, 12 Aug 2024 05:58:02 +0000

*****************************
Only when you do not have sticks I guess, They good for some areas, but long grass open felt ?, thin bendy trees, sometimes trees work, sometimes anthills work, but you need sticks if you want to be properly prepared.]]> General Hunting Discussion Treeman https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/equipment-used-on-my-hunt/#post-5054 Re: Equipment used on my hunt https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/equipment-used-on-my-hunt/#post-5053 Mon, 12 Aug 2024 02:15:06 +0000 Prone / Kneel / Sit / Use a tree branch - Rock]]> General Hunting Discussion Newton https://systemz.online/general-hunting-discussion/equipment-used-on-my-hunt/#post-5053
