Thread: Hunting with Trekking Poles

Reading with interest- I have been using one pole with a modified top to act as shooting rest. Use it for tops hunting trips mostly. As others have stated provides added stability in steep stuff, sidling, down hill and river crossings. Don’t take it bush hunting too noisy. But the pole is ali not CF so that probably accounts for more noise? I rule out 2 poles cos it seems like too much extra crap to lug around?
Based on info above I have several questions
How much difference in energy gain is 2 poles over one ? And how much benefit from single pole ?
Are CF poles quiet ? Strong ? Do they handle a solid impact ? They are expensive ��
