Shooting Sticks?

Hi,

Any of you folks use shooting sticks (mono, bi or tri) when hunting? What, when, why?

Thanks...

No have never tried them. but hunting out of a tree stand i am limited as it is for room and mobility.

YES
I use a bi all the time, because of a crip. left arm.

I started using a monopod, Stoney Point Yukon, last year out of my blind. It makes for a steady shot and less movement. I just rest the bow on it and sit back.

I'll always take it along now with the bow or gun.

I use adjustable sticks when turkey hunting with my equinox in a blind. Works great with little movement.

The Horton Knee Pod comes in handy. It's adjustable and is under $20. But I just got the Stoney Point Polecat swivel bipod and put the adapter on my bow so it just snaps on. I'll be able to use this for my handgun too because I ordered another adapter.

I hunt exclusively on the ground and I use an inexpensive mono pod all the time when I hunt with my Excal.

lscha,

I was ooking at the Stony Creek Monopods and I was wondering which monopod you are using? I assume that the adapter you ae talking about is the Rapid Pivot Monopod attachment, correct??

Thanks,

Bob

I use the stooney point shooting sticks with my muzzleloader. I love them if not for them I wouldn't have even shot at the two deer I took over 250 yards with it last season.

That's correct. Easy on and off but stays in place if you pick up your bow to re-position. And light!

I used to compete some at 'Rendezvous' w/ muzzle loaders and had a set of cross sticks, but they wouldn't work well w/ xbows as they would stick up in the string path.

I made this for using in my ground blind, since I gotta haul a load on 4 whlr anyhow.

I use a Nikon camo tripod with a shooting stick attatchment in my ground blinds.
