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"

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.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
