I can say for myself, that the special made shooting stations that those
people use, is certainly not what I am talking about.  Those are not
portable at all, (IE, a shooter wouldn't be carrying that around from
station to station at a competition) and if ever appeared for an event
would be for a custom shoot where it was provided to all.

My post was referring to simple wooden sticks ... or slightly enhanced
versions with a V at the top, such as seen here: http://is.gd/kIA4cP

When discussing tripods, I am discussing simple wooden ones, such as:
http://is.gd/T8AjSe  or  http://is.gd/dDv4YI

( And there's also bipod versions: http://is.gd/m9psgE )

My own experiments in the past were with a simple stick, ala a walking
stick.
