I hunt pigs-deer-varmints from a pop-up blind. I need some kind of a portable gunrest. I've used a bipod and a camera tripod. They work OK, but I wish I had something a little more stable. does anyone have a better idea? BTW I set up the blind from a truck, so it doesn't have to be extremely light but must be fairly movable inside the blind. thanks, capt david
 
I usually have 3 or 4 pop up blinds set up every deer season for me and my guests. I cut a tree branch with a Y in it, wrap it with an old sock and some duct tape and cut it to length to fit each blind. Ya, I know it's primitive, but it is surprisingly stable. I use about a 3/4 to 1" stick.

I bought a monopod once and the stick beats it all to heck.
 

I just use the Stony Point Bipod part of the tripod, in
the previous picture. It is plenty stable for the Savage
Striker(14" barrel bolt action pistol) I carry when I
pop-up blind hunt for whitetails. And it collapses down
into a small form, that I can stuff in the folding chair
carry bag, when I go mobile with the pop-up. It is
easy to move around the blind, to position for a shot, too.

The one time I used a popup on a field I just used two pieces of rebar, drove them into the ground close together and used duct tape to fashion a cradle and to cushion the sides. It was really stable but definately wasn't portable. I just left them there and would put my popup back over them when I hunted that spot. They were almost in the treeline so not a problem with being in the way of farm equipment. I tried Stoney Point sticks and a monopod but never felt really stable.

That's what I use in my blind also. It works fantastic!
