Ok as you know from the posting I had picked up a cheap monopod from Wally-world (wal-mart) and was going to take it out and give it a run through to see if it was worth buying.. let me start by saying ok the price was a whopping 20.00 for a 4 secion aluminum mono. it came with the hiking staff ball, plastic, and a "V" also in plastic with a light duty rubber coating on the inside. as we know the final section or the end that hits the ground is one of the most important pieces, if its not sturdy enough you wobble. well this one is a full 1/2 inch diameter, plenty strong..  for a hiking stick its a bit unweildy due to the flip clamp system catching high grasses, but not too bad. as a sitting or standing monopod rest for the rifles, I think you would not find a better one for the price tag!! light, sturdy, inexpensive, colapses down to you could put it into a game bag or hang off your belt with no troubles...  and another thing the thing would not colapse even when the sections were wet and i was pushing hard to make it colapse with the rifle on it.. stayed right where i wanted it to be!!

so if you are in the market for a cheap monopod  go to wally world drop a 20 dollar bill and you wont be sorry!!

oh and before you all come back with a boat oar looking to club me, they are NOT in the hunting section, but hidden in the camera and film section of wally world!! if you ask the hunting dep. they will tell you they dont carry them!!  hit up the camera department, they got them and boy do they work!
