Any of you eastern treestand rifle hunters (shooting sticks)

Depends on the situation and the stand. If the deer generally cross in front of me and the stand doesn't have a shooting rail, and the shot might be 100 yards, then yeah I'll bring a shooting stick. Just a cheap Walmart one to give an extra amount of support. I dont do very much stand hunting anymore though. Mostly hunt from the ground.

I stand hunt in PA. I just want more stability and have never tried a shooting stick.
 
No. My climber has a shooting rail attached to the seat. I put my elbow on it to steady my rifle if needed.
 
I can't use a shooting stick with one leg, too wobbly for me. I use a two-legged version if I am walking and stalking, doubles as a walking stick. Three-legged if I am stationary.
 
Does the tree count? All my climbers face the tree.
 
All the time. I carry them frequently when hunting ag fields from hang-on stands and they work quite well if planted in the expanded metal platform of some brands of tree stands.
 
I really like the primos shocky tripod that's tall enough to stand but also breaks down low enough to sit. If I'm in a situation I need to prone out I can make that happen typically off a pack. All my bases are covered
