[QUOTE="wildcat westerner, post: 1734278, member: 21361"] Hello, I have received a Jim Shockey Gen II shooting stick. I ordered Gen III. In taking it out to practice with it, I noted these deficiencies: legs do not drop uniformally here in the high desert where dust is a reality. Legs tend to "skate" when they contact shale rock surfaces, which is all over in the Rockies in this area. The pistol grip itself, while panning laterally, also rocks back and forth, making aiming shots very difficult at longer ranges. In the seated position with the legs at 60 degrees etc. there is so much flex to the legs that using this device for a steady shot in this position is impossible. No item is perfect, but the combination of frustrations I have detailed leaves me wondering about actually using this stick in the field. Is the Gen III better for the deficiencies I have mentioned?
