Trigger stick

[Hoagy]

Has anyone used a trigger stick to support their crossbows. Do they work ok or am I gonna have to start working out?
Thanks, Hoagy

Start working out!

The trigger sticks work, but, they also make your load heavier.

We have way too many things in our lives that allow us to be weaker.

Do whatever works best for you, there are no set rules
I use them, but i'm in my 70's and i don't have a steady aim any more

GOOD LUCK TO YA

To each their own....whatever floats their boat.

As for me, my motto is:
Keep Strong, Live Long. The only limitations are the ones we place upon ourselves.

Ok guys, ive studied your responses & have come to a conclusion. I will start a routine to strenghten with only the effort required to steady my aim to accomodate sumner4991 (by the way you sound a lot like my father) & to accomodate Papa Bear 1 the day I turn 70 I will purchase my first trigger stick
All that aside i appreciate both of your suggestions,
Thanks alot guys, Hoagy

Thanks Comfybear,
I can't argue with that.

Because of a const. accident I lost about 85%
use of the left arm, go ahead , use the support.
It may take more planing, I can`t get a reflex shot.

I use a cheapy from Wal-Mart

It colapses up and fits in my backpack
I use it when I'm still huntin and bow huntin
turkeys out of the blind.

Doesn't take much of a workout to steady your arms. Just grab your bow and aim at something. Hold it up until you are shaking all over. Rest for a minute and do it again. Do this twice a week until the season starts.

Don't even have to shoot it.

This doesn't help with buck fever at all. . . just saying . . .

I have one and thought I could get away
with using one on a tree stand. It became
more of a hinder than an asset! Won't hunt
with it again from a tree on the ground, yes.

Nice !! and if you break a leg, you can use it to get you out.

Found the Horton KneePod to be very beneficial to steady my 71yr old aim, esp from sitting position. It's light, sturdy, adjustable and inexpensive. Even has a snap/cord to attach it to your pack.
