These clamp together making it easy to move from side to side without them collapsing. They have a groove for the Contender forearm and one for the S&W yoke. Height works from a standard chair to sitting on the ground. https://i.ibb.co/Rcs2j4L/IMG-2250.jpg https://i.ibb.co/YdDz1xj/IMG-2251.jpg https://i.ibb.co/HK3wKf6/IMG-2252.jpg https://i.ibb.co/7CSTds1/IMG-2253.jpg

"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.

If I know I will be standing I don't take a handgun as I am just too old and shakey to be shooting at game off hand. I use a photography tripod with a cradle when I zero in my sight or test ammo as it is very solid but I wouldn't want to carry it far. Seated with my back braced I find the shooting sticks very steady.

By holding the yoke, my wrist falls under the butt of the handgun making for a good rest not perfectly solid but about as good as can be expected.
