So much of our hunting is done on foot that it makes sense that we need to be able to shoot standing up. Whether it's the long grass, the lay of the land or the extra movement that means you cannot get prone, we all need a solid shooting stick when standing up.
Modern shooting sticks come in 2 leg (Bipod), 3 leg (Tripod), 4 leg (Quad Sticks) and now even 5 legged versions. They all offer excellent support, are quick, easy and silent to deploy and give you a solid shooting platform.
