[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1248990, member: 48559"] I shoot off sticks using my trekking poles (they are always with me, do double duty, less gear to carry) and find that getting some kind of lateral support for my upper body makes a big difference. The pack under the arm trick is good, or leaning sideways against a suitable object (tree, rock, etc) has enabled me to make pretty consistent hits at 700 or so. Another trick you can use is a large belt or rope loop of suitable length placed around your knees and torso can make your knees into a rock solid support for the elbows. My deer dragging rope has served that purpose once or twice- practice it beforehand, as with any other improvised shooting position. If you are going to pack a tripod and your sticks, having the pod up front and the sticks under the toe of the stock also settles things fairly well. Another alternative is four-point sticks. There is a commercial version on this site from Rudolph (I think I am remembering that right ) or you can make your own. A set of sticks, a pair of trekkers, and two small bungees can whip up an improvised four-pointer pretty quickly in the field... [/QUOTE]
