[QUOTE="Tom Wright, post: 2293399, member: 108611"] I had one attached to my rifle every time I headed west for a deer or antelope hunt. After several trips, finding I never even tried to use it I now leave it at home. Why?—unless I get a shot at a goat off the hood of my truck, it seemed like I was always wasting time trying to find a way to set up for the shot. If you’ve ever thought about crawling or shooting prone in much of the west—think again. Cactus and sage brush is very unforgiving—never attempt without knee and elbow pads and leather gloves. I agree with others that carrying a well designed pack/shooting sticks or tri/bipod works better and makes more sense. Only on TV can a guy clear a shooting place, put down a pad, arrange fore and aft support, check windages, down range distance, adjust bipod height and each leg and then after all that get set for the “perfect” shot at an animal. It also helps if someone has cut the grass in a ten foot circle around where you set up. [/QUOTE]
