Shooting stick (rest)


Recommended Posts

Any body use a stick of some sort to rest the gun while shooting when standing? I am taking a stick with a V shape to rest the gun in or a smaller length of stick to use while sitting,not bipods.

i just use a long stag horn topped stick , got into the habit when i was stalking and  never thought about using anything else 

Think I am going to try that because there’s not always something to rest on,I will look for a nice light hazel stick today.

As well as leaning on to shoot , we tied a rope onto it and the red deer and used it to drag them . used it to test the depth of water and  parting nettles to walk threw etc  try that with trigger sticks LOL

:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

If I’ve nothing to lean on I try to shoot of my knee but it’s not always possible at this time of year with nettles & thistles etc so I thought I would give a stick ago,I’ve cut a hazel stick with a fork,I’ve put some hose pipe over over each fork so it doesn’t scratch the gun and give it a try in the garden it’s seems ok, I test it in the field tomorrow ?.

It down to situation and need, I have very rarely found a need, so the trade off carrying one all the time doesn't work me.

I can very commonly find some support if required and I have a bipod attached almost all the time to my rifles anyway!

Edit …...Just noticed this is Air Gun section, do you actually mean sticks for Air Rifle?

I`ve never walked around shoots with shooting sticks as a fence post or tree trunk, etc, does me fine.

                  Moving onto static hunting, hell  i wouldn`t be without my Primos shooting sticks.

                  I like, as best, natural hides and my shooting sticks are topped with a two point gun rest.

                  Springer or pcp, if you`ve trained and practiced accordingly your bags will be considerably improved.

                  On walking STR i would use a Primos bi-pod, i can`t recommend these sticks enough mate, for whatever scenario.

                  Not sure if you are familiar with the Primos mate but " trigger stick" means by the touch of a trigger on the sticks you can " silently and instantly adjust the height of your sticks to your shot requirements.

                  Static hunting, for me, Primos tri pod, generation 2 or three and two point gun rest are an absolute must have piece of equipment.

                        Good luck  Mark.
