"Primos" Trigger Sticks ... gen 1 type
What Scott said, I wasn't able to find the Gen 1 sticks, so I bought the Gen 2. They turned out to be to long. After some thought I figured out how to cut them down without destroying them. Cut 8" off and they still look and work like new. Tom
I've had a B-Square Monopod A2000 for decades. Round wood knob or padded V rifle cradle or camera mount tops the adjustable height pod.

What isn't shown, but described is to then lay the stick across your thigh. Sounds plausible, even good, and BB says it beats most bipods and he ought to know what he's talking about.

Or is the monopod resting across both thighs somehow?

I would warn you AGAINST the Gen-2 Primos, even the short ones.It is just too wiggly for words. If your form is to hold one hand on the handle of the bipod, it can be okay ... but if you expect the Primos Gen-2 to be able to hold the weight of your gun steady ... bad news.I bought them and don't use them. I built some out of scrap wood and a 1/4-inch bolt with wing nut.Cheers!Bob

Someone just told me there is a modification that will eliminate the wobble, but darn if I can remember what it was.
Here is a pic of the monopod method discussed.
