Green garden canes, about 5 feet long retail in woodies for about 6.50 each if I remember correctly. Lash three together or bolt to together up high. Make perfect shooting sticks.

DB your link is not working try here for tri-sticks with added fishing rod rest. I was hitting a sheep body sized rock @700m using them.

BUT for stalking I'm using 1m quad -sticks made from aluminium garden sticks from B&Q. These are used kneeling and I also have longer ones for standing. These quad-sticks make for a very stable shooting platform as do the one above.
I used cut up bicycle inner tube 2" long to keep the legs together.
