What shooting sticks/bipod do you prefer? I have always used Harris bipods but they do add quite a bit of weight.

Mine are made by stoney point. They came with a sleeve to carry them on your belt.
Really like them.

I prefer to carry sticks, the Stoney Point Bipod works very well for me and my little girl, it adjusts for both of us.

I don't like the Harris. Added weight and bulk. I like the ones that you can carry around. I use to have a great pair that were tuff and i actually used as a walking stick. THey were always at the ready.

I have 2 Harris, but I don't use them anymore
I learned a while ago that they will get in your way more often than not. I started using Predator Sniper Styx and have not had the desire to put a bi-pod back on. It does take a bit of getting used to after a bi-pod. It takes a bit of field use to get the hang of it. However, once you are used to them, swinging on something that sneaks in from the off side is much easier with sticks.
Here is a quick link.
http://www.predatorsniperstyx.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1&zenid=b39e6e583135715a8f12e2f1379b0455
As you can see, they are completely configurable to what you want/need. Start with a basic pair, and if you need extra length or a third leg, just give em a call.
Hope that helps.

Home made shooting sticks. Made from two old dome tent poles, three green castration bands, and some rubber tubing.

Harris. Eastide only...
My harris didn't seem to add too much weight, but for westside-forget it, too brushy...
I also have a bunch of homemade stuff I drag around in the rig for the kids, or for predator hunting, but it seems that we either forget them in the truck, or other reasons why we don't use them.
