Almost everything I've read about hunting in Africa suggests getting and using shooting sticks. But a quick google search yields a bewildering array of makes, models and styles. Does anyone here have experience using shooting sticks (specifically in Africa) and any resulting opinions on them?

Likely won't make it to the Dark Continent but I have been quite pleased with the Bog Pod. Being a tripod it is stable while shooting and provides a convenient rest for the rifle while waiting for game.

Highly recommended by the guys over on Accurate Reloading.

I used Varmint Al's recipe. It's nice and simple and cost 2 bucks.

Works great for cruising the fields for hunting bunnies, yotes, and prairie dogs.

At the very least, you can make a pod, drag it around for a little while and find what options suit you the best.
