I actually never knew this was a “thing”…  I am definitely intrigued.

African Sporting Creations is the only company that manufactures wood and carbon fiber monopods, bipods and tripod shooting sticks in the USA backed up by an unconditional lifetime warranty. Each set of sticks takes more than 100 different steps to craft and goes through a rigorous quality control process. They are the quietest, lightest and most rigid shooting sticks available and have been in continuous use by Professional Hunters around the globe for over a decade.

The heart of every model is its proprietary take-down connector – the strongest on the market – which is machined from a solid block of aircraft aluminum and allows the sticks to screw together in about a minute. Since beginning operations twelve years ago, African Sporting Creations has never had one of their positive locking connectors fail.

They boast over twelve different models with a variety of styles, lengths and options, that can all fit in a full-length airline case (the super compact versions will fit in a takedown rifle case).  Prices start at $189.

I am sure a number of you have used these (or something like them).  What are your thoughts?  I like the idea, and it passes the sniff test, but never having used them I don’t know…
