Everyone’s thoughts on bipods/shooting sticks.

Day,location,walking distance,snow depth,rifle dependent for me.Bipods,tripods and the heavy ,bulky fav for decades-the Harris long(27 inch??)bipod.99% of the time I'm sitting and the Harris just plain works.
 
Swagger Hunter series for me. Sly dog is the closest thing I have found to the perfect ground seat, and I have tried many. Back to the Swagger, It is good if you are using it, but it's really not suitable if you find yourself doing some offhand shooting. I've also had a couple of barrels shortened when I suppressed them and the suppressor interferes with extending the legs to deploy. I am currently trying a QD 42 for that reason, but it's not nearly as stable.
 
I love Shooting Sticks. Didn’t really like the bipods. My favorite shooting sticks for the past 20 years or so have been the one made by Verne Howey. I’m Still using the first set I bought from him. I also have a brand new set of them I bought years ago that are sitting waiting for my original set wears out. Great steady rest for shots 0-300+ yards…..

Good Hunting Chad

They might be alittle hard to find, I know Allpredatorcalls.com used to carry them along with Montgomery Fur in Ogden Utah but like I said that was years ago.

Well I sure appreciate it. I’ve been looking at all types here the last few days. I’ll go give them a look right now actually.
 
I use a collapsible walking stick with a rifle rest on the top for a handle,, I am older know and this keeps my carry gear to a minimum. I get to my area, sit down, adjust my test to my situation, which can be a sloped hillside, then, action station, my left hand grabs the stick where the rifle meets and I get at it. I have used cross sticks when I have a lot of ice on… but the single adjustable works for me. I bought it at a yard sale for $2.00. There are some good ideas on here!!!

There’s definitely a lot of knowledge here.
 
For calling, I don't want something attached to my rifle or my rifle attached to something, so Primos Trigger Sticks for me. On any given day I will make stands that require sitting on the ground, sitting on my chair, or standing - and I may not know which configuration when I leave the truck. The three-legged TS can do all that and I only have to carry one thing. And if I have to go free hand, it's no problem to pick up the rifle and swing while the TS just stands there.

That makes sense for sure
 
I’ve been using the Pole cat shooting sticks for years. I think Primos bought them out a few years ago.

I usually use a small stool like 1996 when daytime hunting. Mine will adjust taller if sitting on a stool or shorter if sitting flat in the ground. They are light and functional when walking in an out of stands all day.

When hunting at night or needing a little sturdier rest if use the Bog Pod tripod.

At night I and usually standing on the tall sticks. They are still plenty light. Most of my calling requires walking away from the truck some distance. I use these for thermal hog hunts as well.

The locking grips on the tripods (which I don’t have) are nice but add weight and price.
