Snipepod is the lightest.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

I built my own. I used carbon arrow shafts cut about 10" each and ran a shock cord thru 3 sections using aluminium arrow pieces about 3" long for joint couplers. A short piece of 1/2" hose joins them and a bit of surgical tubing for nonslip feet. Total weight is about half an ounce, they stow small and quiet and are adjustable from 6-24"

I looked at the snipod and i have shootin sticks that fold up just like those...id like to find somthin a little sturdier like the harris bipod...just a little lighter....maybe somthin made out of abs plastic and the same idea as harris...i like the thicker legs so theres not as much flex

How tall do you want? I have a Harris Ultralight on my Encore. It's very light but not very tall. Meant for prone shooting.
