From what I remember, you can use any shooting aid that you would normally use in the field.

If you can honestly say that it is a ‘normal stalking aid’ then you can. Personally, I have never seen anyone stalking with one but that is just my experience.
I have seen them used by a small number of DSC1 Candidates and there have been a few problems to be honest. They take forever to set up (obviously that is down to the skill of the user) and can seriously hold up a firing detail which not very fair on other Candidates.
I have seen the wrong target shot because Candidates get so fixated on setting up the contraption that they fail to confirm the lane but this can happen anyway.
Most concerning is that Candidates can rely so heavily on the device that they fail to control the rifle, even to the point of taking their hands off it completely. I came very close to failing a Candidate for safety violations because of this on a recent course.
If you do decide to use it please make sure that you are very proficient with it and consider the points that I have made.
Lastly, I have never seen anyone shoot any better with one than the average Candidate with quad sticks or similar. The additional pressure of setting up and faffing, especially if the range isn’t perfectly level, seems to outweigh any stability advantage.

Thank you for the reply and your advice, it’s much appreciated
Though I am only just considering doing my DSC1 I shoot regularly on different permissions and my bog is my go to with my .243 so I would consider myself fairly proficient with it, to be honest I find it more stable than my primos. I rarely shoot out beyond 200, grouping under 4” the majority of tine. I have never used quad sticks so I can’t comment but I have often thought about trying them. I tend to carry the bog on a rifle sling, fairly quick setup, then rifle on and shot made, rifle off, and onto the next.lol .. I carry it on a rifle sling so not to bad, my primos is lighter but I just prefer the bog.
