You can order stable sticks from Amazon. I would just remove middle section. Maybe the right height

For my buddy's grandson I went to a local hardware store, purchased 3 - 5/8 inch x 4 foot long dowel rods, tied them together with a piece of leather lacing. Then when the sticks are set up place 1/2 inch pipe foam around the top of the tripod to prectect the stock from getting scratched up. Works well whether standing or sitting in a chair, on a stump or log, in a blind.

What is even better is to buy 4 sticks, make 2 bipods using bicycle inner tube as a bungee then do the same with the feet of both bipods. This gives a set of quad sticks that supports the front and rear of the rifle. The accuracy that can be achieved off such a support in much better than off a bipod or tripod

I agree not overspending on the young man, as he will quickly outgrow them.

You can look at purchasing a camera tripod and attaching a hog saddle to it to hold the rifle. To further stabilise it and curb recoil, suspend some weight from the hook between the three legs.

Although I personally have never used quad sticks. I have heard others who have used them with great success.

Guess it depends on how big the youngster or rather person is and materials available on short notice (field expedient).

Three 5/8 inch diameter dowels fit his hands so he could use the "sticks" as a walking stick.

During short breaks and when we would set up in a spot the sticks became gun and pack racks, slinging the guns and packs on the sticks to keep the guns and packs off the ground. If the log bench was right, the log would become a break table, chair, gun and pack rack as we had snacks and waited for the woods to calm down.

In the end after the second or third outing, he decided he didn't want to use sticks, and wear camo face paint, any more.

When my kids were growing up I bought a “pole cat”. It comes with an attachment for the front swivel stud and the two legs snap on and off like a socket wrench. The section between the socket snap and the legs is rubber so they can keep the gun level on uneven terrain. They killed truck loads of deer off those sticks. Very stable and long enough to shot standing up.
