Actually I made them because the older I get the shakier I am, especially for off hand shooting.

Shooting sticks

I use shooting sticks similar to those posted by @Idaho Ron
Simple to make, field tested and effective.

The shooting sticks that I make are different than most. I make them out of dowel. I drill the ends and use arrow inserts and rubber arrow tips or the steel field points depending on how I amusing them. I added some Mole skin to keep them quiet
Then I drill the top of the sticks. I add sling swivels and a leather strap the swivels are epoxied in. I gave it some mole skin again to keep them quiet and for better grip.
The rifle rests on the leather. I don't like the rifle sitting on a hard spot to shoot from. I feel that the leather allows the rifle to recoil without outside input from the rest. Every shot is the same. I tested this with my air rifle. It is hold sensitive and the leather allows it to do its thing the same way every time.
When they are deployed I can adjust the height by leaning them back. I have three different sizes to choose from. Short for bench rest, medium for sitting on the ground, and tall for sitting in a blind or on my knees.
Here is a video I made on them.

I wonder if they go on sale?
Searched the wrong thing I think.. that's not what I was looking for at all. If I paid that for what I'd be afraid to use them. They come with instructions?

See if Varmint Al's Bi-Fur-Pod Shooting Sticks web page is still around. Easy to follow instructions. https://www.varmintal.com/abifu.htm
I just found two 3/4 square and 5 foot long sticks in the garden department. I planed the corners down and pointed one end and put on a bit of oil for good measure and use them without any connections besides my hand. Simple and works great for sighting in or test shots at my monthly shoot.
