Thread: Steady Stix. An aid for old codgers.

Thanks for your post Nick-D,
20 years ago I probably have gone for a tripod had they been available. These days advancing age together with decreasing mobility means that the light weight (a little over 200 grams) makes them a better option for me at least for the moment. Welcome to the Weatherby eye brow club. I've had a few whacks but my son had a similar experience to yours. He dropped out of the mist and spotted a deer quite close, took a shot from a less than stable position. Cut one. Recovered from that and here was a deer standing in much the same spot. Cut two. Over to the deer. 2 deer! After a round trip back to his camp to get his pack, a butchery session and the walk out he arrived at my place with a liver for me and a pack that weighed 35 kg. Good thing they were not reds. The .300 Win Mag was sold.
Regards Grandpamac.
