I also like to use a rest, any kind if the opportunity and time permits. I have used two types, the Stoney Point and the BogPod. I prefer the BogPod, setup time is faster and easier for me, has a lock you open, adjust leg, and close, and has a swivel U head. Both adjust for positions standing to sitting down to about 24", the SP you have to loosen the legs by turning, then tighten them at the height you want, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
Works great, was practicing here . . .
