steve_b_wales Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Primos Gen 3 Trigger Stick with 2 point rifle rest. I've used mine for a few years now and it's excellent. I attached some velcro strips to the rest, so that they hold the rifle securely without the need to hold it constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 I tried, bipod's, tripods, and so on. Quad sticks are the way to go. The 2 point rest on the tripod is because they are not steady enough alone as otherwise you have 1 point of contact allowing the stock to move freely. They are also more prone to failure of the tubes in the field, not so easy to carry but probably better in an ambush being able to leave the rifle in place. Quad sticks are so stable that I zero my rifle off mine. Easy to carry and quick to deploy. They work up hill, down hill and they can traverse a tripod simply cannot do those things as easily.

Benthejockey Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Got some green garden cane home made quad sticks. Never used sticks up until a few months ago when a job came up that demanded we do an accuracy test off sticks. How I've managed without them all this time ill never know.

Very sturdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrelsniffer Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Had x2 sets of the primo trigger sticks and on both had problems with legs either seizing up on one, and other collapsing, now use the Rekon tripod after using manfrotto tripod with monkey clamp for many yrs, tripods are great for static positions where you can leave rifle in clamp and use both hands freely for using bino or NV spotter, tripod and clamp has to be strong enough to support your rifle, also use viper flex quad sticks when doing a lot of walking.

Dougy Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Tried the tripod and you will be more solid using quad sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow white Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Quad sticks all the time shooting rabbits at two hundred yards no problem. Make my own with two points touching ground Edited November 5, 2020 by snow white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseplant Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I use both. The quad sticks win for stability, but the tripod is good for some situations. Shooting at very steep angles; shooting from seated; changing point of aim quickly. Also, when I'm baiting pigs, it's useful to have the rifle all setup and ready to go. They can be quite sensitive to noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieknuckles Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Primos tripod trigger sticks for me, I shot eight Wednesday night all standing. My mates Ewes are lambing so a fair bit of walking around on hilly ground. They are quick, self levelling, and light most shots I take are within 150 yards I’ve never tried clamps or quad sticks so can’t vouch for them.
