Guest Dust Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I realize bow season is starting up and most aren't thinking of rifle just yet. Well I don't bow hunt anymore (trying to decide if I want to again). What I am asking is does anyone use the Shooting Sticks I see on the hunting shows. I am a ground sitter. Had an incident with a tree many years ago and am not real comfortable with getting in tree stands. I need something to help steady my shot at long distances. Are the shooting sticks just a bunch of hype or do they work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterfisherman Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Shooting Sticks I have a shooting sick and I love it. I use it during ML season and even during Turkey season. Really helps steady the gun. You should look at a couple of them and see what one is most comfortable to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Shooting Sticks oh no--they really work. I never hunt without mine. Even when I'm hunting out of my shooting house I take them with me in case I see a deer on the way to the stand or the way back. I've used mine for hog hunting, yote hunting, and deer hunting. Heck I even use them when turkey hunting. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sureshot Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Shooting Sticks Inever go anywere with the rifle without them! I make my own,I get some 1/2 inch dowling and cut them the right height so when I sit down they are perfect,when I first started to use them people laughed but when they seen I was constantly connecting on 300 yards coyotes they seen why, it makes all the difference in the world a steady shot,Plus they work for walkign sticks and also they cna be used to drag a coyote back to the truck just put a foot near the swivel point [a bolt so the sticks swivel!] Once you start with shootign sticks you will never go without!

Guest Dust Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Shooting Sticks Thanks guys. I am going to have to try and find some around here. Probably will have to order them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallone Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Shooting Sticks I just ordered some stoney mountains from cabelas for my trip to Montana. I've never used them but after reading up about them they should work great and I don't want to take a chance of screwing up a once in a lifetime shot from not having a steady rest.

rifleman25 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Re: Shooting Sticks I have a box of Harris bipods in my garage that are now gathering dust. I fell in love with the stoney point steady stix two years ago and haven't looked back. I love them, and don't carry a rifle to the field with out them.
