I use a pair of Stoney Point sticks (http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...774&hasJS=true) and I really like them. Much faster to use than any sling as long as you already have the legs un-folded and locked together. I used them to shoot a bear at 202 yards and a deer way beyond what I should have ever tried to shoot. They definatly provide a steady rest when used properly.

I'm suprised the guy was using sticks as most bears hunted over bait is done from a tree stand. He probably just muffed the shot and didn't want to blame himself. A lot of people find fault in their equipment when they fail to make good shots.
