Others Need suggestions for good/portable shooting stick for outdoor use

[ernroe]

Hey guys, I need some suggestions for good and portable shooting sticks for using outdoors. I bought an adjustable tripod off Amazon and it was a piece of crap. I need one that is light weight, adjustable and quick to set up. Any suggestions and where to find would be appreciated.

These work well and they’re solid. Amazon.com : BOG Havoc Camo Bipod Shooting Rest with Lightweight Aluminum Construction, High Density Foam Grips, Twist-Style Lock Legs, and Universal Shooting Rest Head for Hunting, Shooting, and Outdoors : Sports & Outdoors . Stay away from trigger sticks they like to topple over

After wearing out two sets of Trigger Sticks, using these now:
REKON Outdoor Gear CFS-1 Carbon Fiber Shooting Sticks

Much more robust than the Primos, & steadier (less flex), but very light weight. Not quite as fast to adjust, but with a little practice have gotten good at adjusting the center post with my left hand only while holding the rifle with my right hand. Also nice that it works sitting, kneeling, or standing. Most of what's on the market comes in short & tall versions; this one covers both.

those look nice!

They really are. To be fair, they should be for the price. Pretty confident they're going to last much longer than the Primos (which aren't exactly cheap either).

@JoeWillie was sporting a set of the Rekon at the UFT match yesterday too.

I've used a monopod, tripod and now since using the Primos trigger sticks tripod version I'll never go back to the others. It can be used as a quick adjust monopod, bipod or tripod and for someone like me I simply don't have time to fart around with adjusting the legs. Having them retract and self adjust has been wonderful for all the off camber spots I setup on. I might actually get another shorter set for sitting as my current ones don't go low enough. My biggest deturent was the price but after using them have found they are worth every penny. Terry has the same set and mounted a vice on the top to clamp his rifle into, works awesome.

Good point on those sticks

I have two sets of trigger sticks the short and long Bi-pods. I wish I had purchased the longs as a tri-pod. They work great for walking and stalking hunting. I use them out in the fields shooting woodchucks. I have multiple confirmed kills at 100 yards off of them.

I use the shorts for field target.

They are easy to carry and quick to deploy in the field. One day I will get a nice tripod to take some longer shots.

Sent you a DM.

Been trying for the last 20 minutes to reply to your DM to me (with pics of the trigger stick). Site isn't allowing me to respond to you! Text me & I'll send pics. Here's what it wouldn't allow me to DM to you.


Here's a couple pictures with the "stick" at its shortest & longest positions. I think it will fit your needs. How about if I ship it to you & YOU decide what it's worth to you + the postage. I'd rather you have it & put it to good use than hanging on my garage wall (when someone else can be enjoying it). I don't know what they cost new but I'm more interested in ridding my garage of stuff I'll never use than making money from it. Here's my phone # & email for faster communication if you'd like.

Build yer own. "Varmint Al's" shooting sticks. Mine lasted for 10 years and were cheap to build.

I second the Primos Trigger Stick bipod (tall version). I use them as shooting supports, a walking stick, and brush guard when hunting. The Primos tripod is awkward for me to carry if I leave the legs loose. If I strap them together, then unstrapping them is more than I want to do to set up for a shot on a stalk.
