I make mine out of dowelling. I use different lengths for different purposes. They are cheap (I have left a few in the bush in the excitement), they work very well, they are warm when it is cold and cool when it is hot, they are light, and they make a passable walking stick.
I prefer them over bipods because they allow me to follow moving targets easier, and they get me up over the undergrowth (if I'm carrying the longer ones).
