I had a pair of adjustable leg shooting sticks that I used for a long time, used them in the blind or tree stand. I went to Colorado this past October and bought a pair of Primos trigger sticks, and they are wonderful. Very easy and fast to adjust, and very steady. I shoot a mule deer at 300 yards, and I was standing with a backpack on. They are around $80-100, but worth it. I also have a harris bipod that I use if I am sitting on the ground, just depends on what type of hunting you are doing.

I have a set of Vanguard Quest T62U. You can use them as a tripod, a bipod or a monopod. They arent as quick as a trigger stick. But they are solid. I actually use them also as a tripod to hold up my chronograph sometimes. I think I paid around 80-90 bucks for them. More than on their website...... that figures. But I like them. They are similar to Bog Pods in weight and such. But I dont think the bog pods can be used in all these configurations. here ya go www.vanguardworld.us/hunting_us/quest-t62u.html |

I have used them in all the variations. In a blind I usually use the tripod system set up and ready to go. When I decide to hike back to a far away stand I usually just use the monopod.

Trigger stick tripod. Trying to thimk of a way to mount a sand bag on top. Drop The new Gen2 Primos trigger stick will accept any pod mountable device. I am sure you can come up with something that will work...  |

The trigger stick is a great item very easy and fast to adjust stick height, however it is a little heavy and bulky
I use a shooting stick similar to the Primos Pole Cat Tall Monopod Shooting Stick.
I carry it with a slide through sheath clipped on my fanny pack belt, although not a easily adjusted you almost don't know your wearing it.
Good luck.

Trigger stick tripod. Trying to thimk of a way to mount a sand bag on top. Drop I will be bringing a tall and mid length Primos trigger sticks with a 2 point gun mount to the 2018 Spring Challenge. I think an X bag laid over this set up would make a decent set up. I still have not found a Caldwell Magnum Pod to give a close look at. |

I have been looking at one. I sure would like to play with one before I buy. Wish you were close you could give mine a spin. I have zero buyers remorse on this purchase. It folds up nice and tight and is solid. No problem taking a 400 or 500 yard shot. Once set up, it rotates 360 degrees and is easily adjusted up and down. The downside is that it would be heavy to tote a long distance. I carry it on the back of my four wheeler with my chair. Snatch them off and hike to the area I am hunting after getting as close as I am comfortable with my 4 wheeler. |

I have a old set of Stoney Point Safari Stix that I have been abusing fopr the past 14 years or so. They are very lightweight, allow me to shoot from sitting position all the way up to sanding on my hind legs. This was invaluable during some oryx hunts where the hunter needs to see above the brush to get the shot at the oryx. I added a 3rd leg to make them a tripod configuration and they work great. Even with the 3rd leg the setup is under 1.25 pounds. I have practiced with them out to 550 yards and a critter is very dead out to that distance. I shot my mule deer this year from 240 yards out while standing and using the stix. Another use for them is glassing. While I am walking, I set them up and rest my binocs on the stix and look for game. I bought a back up set of Bog-Pod shock corded sticks and they work just fine. |

I know this is an old thread, but I use the BOGPOD tripod. I started out many years ago with an Stoney Point expedition monopod. Eventually I upgraded to their bipod. Many years ago I dropped the bipod in the snow and inadvertently ran over one of the legs in the snow, so I replaced it with a BOGPOD tripod and absolutely love it. Sturdy enough to use as a full blown walking stick. I've shot prairie dogs off of it out past 300 yds with a bolt action savage in .223. 150 yds on a PD is pretty doable. 150 yds on a whitetail is a gimme shot. This past year, I added a trigger stick to my late season PD setup. The Trigger Stick goes under the buttstock to provide more stability for shooting past 300 yds. Not real quick to adjust, but it definitely adds a lot of stability.
