I really like the Primos Trigger Sticks too. I've got short and tall monopods and short bipod. The quick adjustment is what makes them. Also on the short monopod, if you take the rubber cap off the bottom you will find female threads. I turned some aluminum rod and threaded it so I can add height to it if needed. The only downside I've found with the short bipod, the legs don't spread as far as I'd like. You can't really straddle your leg with them so sometimes you have to sit with your legs spread or together and to one side to get setup how you need to be. Doesn't happen often but kinda annoying when it does. I might see if I can alter them a bit for more spread.

I use predator sniper stix. They are light, have a built in sling, and have a squeeker attached.

I like the Vanguard shooting sticks you can leave the legs together and use it like a monopod or open them and use them that way and they fit ars great.

I used homemade sticks for a time (arrows and rubber tubing), then switched to Stoney Points, but now I too use Trigger Sticks. I love those things for most applications, particularly when calling because I never know when I leave the truck if I'll be sitting on the ground, sitting on my seat, or standing. The Trigger Sticks adjust to any stand and work great. I still carry the Stoney Point sticks when backpack hunting though, the Trigger Sticks are pretty heavy.

Primos Trigger Sticks I have used a lot of different sticks and I believe these are the best. The legs self adjust to the ground. The tri pod legs are not real wide like the bog ones. Just grab the handle squeeze the trigger the legs hit the ground flat or uneven. ready to shoot.

The only problem with the adjustable shooting sticks I encountered was that they have a tendency to Freeze in cold weather.

Tapping them against a tree trunk to free them up, or flicking them with a Bic Lighter does not bode well for stealthy concealment purposes.

I made a couple sets of sticks out of wooden dowls and heavy rubber bands - IMO they work just as well and easily support my Savage 223 Heavy Barrell.

Click on video to watch....
Save your hard earned money guys. Get two 1/2" dowel rods from Home Depot. Make them any length to fit you. I'm pretty tall and I set on a four inch turkey webbed seat so I make mine 40 inches. A 3/16" bolt with nut. I make a little groove with a sharp chisel where I'm going to put the silicone rubber. Make sure you clean the area with rubbing or denatured alcohol so the rubber sticks good. Other end drill a pilot hole for dry wall screws so they don't split your dowel. Run them in and leave about an inch or so out. Then grind off the heads. TIP do the screws first before you bolt them together cause its easier to hold one dowel while your grinding than two. I've made at least 3 or 4 more pair for my buddies. 1/2" dowel will hold any heavy rifle you have believe me. Camo them and you're good to go. I love making stuff. If you have any questions let em fly. Pete

Sorry guys no video at this moment. I never did much video on forums from photobuckey and when I posted it and watched it on the forum, I can see where it said 1 of 170 which means everyone can go thru my whole album and see every picture I have in there. Not that there is anything bad, I just don't want to have everyone looking thru all my pictures.
Can anyone tell me how to post that single video without exposing my entire album.??? THanks

Peter, I'll give it a try.

To get where you can make your stuff private, open *my albums*.

Over on the right hand side of that page you'll see *album options*.

Click on *album options* and it'll have a drop down menu.

4th one down will be *privacy* where you can *edit*.

Click on the *edit* and select *private*.

Then hit *save* at the bottom.

That should work for ya.

Here is what I did. Instead of the bolt and hole, I got some small bungie cord with a spring loaded clamp and wrapped it around the sticks fairly tight. That way you can adjust the pivot point up or down.
