Abstract
Shooting sticks having pivotally attached support rests slidably attached to collapsible legs, said support rests providing a stable platform on which a user may aim and/or shoot a firearm or other object requiring at least temporary immobilization. A first channel running along the length of each support rests allows for the passage of a leg. A brake is attached to each support rest, said brake having an aperture through which a leg passes through, the aperture being configured, when the brake has not been depressed, to arrest any sliding movement of the support rest along the length of the leg to which it is attached. When the brake is depressed, the aperture becomes oriented perpendicular to leg which passes through it, allowing the support rests to freely slide up and down the leg. An elastic member provides an upwardly directed force to aid in support rest stabilization and lift assist.
