Thread: Who uses a tripod to hunt / shoot from?

I bought a quad stick from supplier at Cambridge. With practice they set up reasonably quick but definitely not a snap shooting solution. They fold up to make a fairly decent walking stick but the velcro strap that holds them together is pretty useless. They are very adjustable with holes and buttons to get your preferred base height, then to get a specific shooting height you just spread the legs in or out a little. They support the rifle at the fore end and just in front of the trigger guard so very stable. Thats how I use them if setting up to monitor say a slip face. If I'm stalking and see target before it sees me but not enough time to set up fore and aft I simply use them as a shooting stick. With practice this is very effective. Height is adjusted simply by leaning the now single stick (x4 together as one), forward or back as suits. Can be very quick to get onto target. If animals, say goats in cover, know I'm there and are moving and I need to snap shoot offhand I just drop them on the ground. Worth putting some flash orange on them to make it easy to find if yiu happen to move off in heat of the moment..

Biggest downside is banging them on stuff can make noise. Why orange flash is good..ive left them in some circumstances and then collected them later..

Cost $180 couple of years ago..Had my $$ worth..
