Oct 15, 2009 · WalMart has a collapsable shooting stick, or at least the one in Harrisonburg, Va. does. They are $9.97 and extend from 21" to 60", which is perfect for the shooting that I encounter while walking and while sitting. I bought two, one that I originally purchased for me, which my wife found out worked great for her camera and photography and wanted.

Nov 19, 2020 · Let's starts a discussion about how to improve the stability of your tripod or shooting sticks so that you can increase your effective range. Being a Spartan Precision guy, my idea is the Davros head. All you need is something with a 1/4" or 3/8" head. For example, if you have a Primos Trigger Stick, you can screw the Davros onto it.

Nov 22, 2023 · I used a homemade set of shooting sticks for years until I lost them . I added on a small fiberglass rod I slid into a spring. This was screwed onto one of the legs which I should mention were wood. I could go from bipod to tripod in seconds. Man do I miss them. They weighed 1-3/4 pounds. I think my inspiration came from Varmit Al.

Mar 7, 2018 · If you're not shooting past 400 yarde, a light pair of MIdway's Swagger Stalker Lite Shooting Sticks in a sheath on your belt work great, and are very quick to deploy. For longer range, when you usually have more time to deploy, I like a light tripod.

Dec 15, 2024 · These came with a sheath that only covers the top, I'd look for a model that has a full sheath. They also make a tripod version, which is steadier, but takes longer to deploy. I love hiking sticks, but in rocky country, I find it impossible to walk quietly with them. If they're in your pack, it would take too long to deploy them for a quick shot.

Dec 30, 2009 · This outfitter highly recommends tall shooting sticks or tripods, and uses the Stoney Point ones himself. In addition, he highly recommends purchasing our own set to use and practice with before we go. Right now we're looking at 3 units. They are the Stoney Point Explorer Tripod: Stoney Point - ConvertaPod Explorer Tripod the Ultrec Quick ...

Apr 23, 2011 · Standing while shooting has definite advantages as for maneuverability, especially on follow up shots where the target has moved to a different location. And also on steep or otherwise unsuitable terrain, it has definite advantages. But that also requires more than just a camera type tripod.

Jul 30, 2014 · Lugging a tripod around at 8,000+ feet does not sound like fun. But using dual purpose hiking/shooting sticks makes a lot of sense. Hiking/shooting sticks means that when you have a very expensive shooting rig on your back you need those sticks to keep a fall from damaging a scoped rifle and ruining an expensive rig and expensive hunt.

Jun 26, 2016 · The KDC snipepod is fine to shoot off of, similar to shooting sticks I would imagine. I'm looking to step up to a full size tripod for the upcoming season and would like to add a spotting scope to the mix for digiscoping. I practice shooting off my pack now, so would not necessarily plan on shooting from the tripod every time.
