The best by far has to be

also probably the cheapest option (still the best regardless of cost)
For the last year or so I have been leaving my sticks in the car. I am brining on a puppy and to be honest dealing with leads and sticks is just too much faff. Instead I have been using planted sticks - trees, fence posts, walls etc. My focus has been the hound, achieving culls somewhat secondary. There have been a few opportunities where I could have had a shot but steadying the dog etc has taken precidence. I don't think I have missed the sticks - I know my ground and move from rest to rest. I have also shot a couple just sitting with elbows resting on knees. Admittedly the ground is well wooded and ranges are short.
Sticks are definately useful, but pleased that I don't feel reliant upon them.
