Thread: Shooting sticks advice

Yeah if you google quad sticks shooting you'll find the standard type used in the UK. Heaps of DIY ideas too. I've used them and they are incredibly stable and easy to use. They just don't seem so applicable to most of our shooting situations in NZ - too bulky to carry around. For on the hill the pack idea is better

I use them when culling in forestry.

Happily shoot Roe out to 300odd meters with them.

Work much better with no bipod or sling attached to the rifle as that shit gets in the way. Moderator helps because having some weight forward of the second (forend) rest keeps it stable.

I carry a lumbar pack (Kifaru Scout) and run a Kifaru Gunbearer on it. Quad sticks in left hand, carried with the rest that supports the rifle butt facing upwards.

Can be deployed with one hand whilst you unhook and place the rifle with the other. With practise you can get an accurately placed round off in under 10 seconds.
