Primos Trigger Stick
Anyone use these for hunting? If so, your experience and advice is welcome regarding their utility with 10-12 lb rifles and two- versus 3-legged versions.

RE: Primos Trigger Stick
Caprock I don’t know what kind of hunting you plan on doing with it but I’ve carried a mono shooting stick for around ten years on the side of my pack. I’ve probably used it twice when killing an animal. The problem I found with the one I had is it wasn’t very fast to set up. Standing, sitting, kneeling it didn’t matter it takes time and animals don’t stand around for long. I still carry it but now it’s used as a walking stick. I can also sling a deer quarter on it too. Shooting off your knee, pack or free hand is a more effective way to spot and stalk hunt here in wyoming. Now if you were going to set up in a spot and wait for the animals to walk by that’s a different story. My cousin who has hunted Africa several times likes the tripod style shooting sticks, he swears by them.

RE: Primos Trigger Stick
Most generally my mono pole is a tree where I hunt
but yes I carry one that is sized for kneeling and it can be used for sitting also leaning it back some. This one I used a .50 BMG case and I soldered a pole barn spike in the case neck to stick it in the ground. Works very good and I cary it in my belt when I stalk or still hunt like deer feeding.
The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
