The Shooter's stick is a very lightweight accessory. Yet it is stronger than other such options. Actually I have used it to walk on rough terrain as also to frighten stray animals away. The stick's height remains constant but the rachet like fixture allows you to shoot in a crouching or prone condition.I have demonstrated it in the attached short video. The end of the stick is very much pointed, hence you will be able to pin it beforehand on a soft ground for stability with a little pressure. The pointed end also makes it as a sort of weapon. It is made up of a light but very strong water resistant and sunlight proof material. It does not shine, hence blends in the natural surroundings. Do not allow children to fight with it. It is not a toy; instead it is an equipment for steadying your air- gun during shooting. I consider it a useful purchase.
