Primos Trigger stick?

[edge]

Has anyone tried the Primos Trigger stick tall version either mono pod or tripod versions?

If so what is your thoughts on it/them?

thanks,

i personally looked at those but have not tried them& just as i suspected >> here are some opinions gathered from some that i have talked to before i bought,eleavation was fast & easy but all had trouble swaying horizontally so i opted to go with the stoney point bi-pod polecats,i didnt like polecats when i first got em but after hunting a whole season they are carried in my backpack & attached very quickly & used on all my field guns now, i highly recommend the polecats, i went with the sitting/kneeling version/hope that helps(regarding the tri-pod models,most have been frustrated in a quick hunting setup to get them setup in time)

realhunter has a Primo's Trigger Stick. Just bought it this past Fall. I know he used it on a few hunts we went on. Maybe he can give us his thoughts. ;D

Thanks guys

I have a tall bi-pod for sitting, but wanted something for walking around and for use while standing. I can't stand the offhand position on an animal past about 75 yards.

Last Saturday I was walking and I jumped about a dozen deer. They were about 100 yards walking straight away from me. unfortunately there was low brush between us so sitting was not an option and I did not have a tree in the right position to lean against.

Since I won't take a Texas Heart shot on a deer that is not wounded, that left a neck shot which I did not feel steady enough for a 100% shot placement...so they got a pass.

I have just used a walking stick and rested the rifle on my wrist, but you still need some height adjustment and the Trigger Stick, if it works would seem to be just the ticket.

I have used some different Primos products. They all offered a product that worked for me when used as designed.

Edge: I just bought the tall (66 inch) shooting stick set from Natchez on sale. They are made by Shooters Ridge but I have not gotten them out of the box to actually use them. They were discounted so I bought the set. Instead of $40 they were $15 so I did not think I could go too far wrong. I would really like to find a reasonable tri stick set up. May have to try to make my own.

Yes, I like it very well. Easy to use after some practice, and fairly steady for a mono pod. I have the long version for treestand use, but I have used it from a ground blind as well.

Thanks for the feedback, it seems like it is worth a try

I have the mono pod. I am NOT sure it is Primos but it's about the same thing. Adjustable plastic mono stick. Works fine for a walking stick. But it's not much good for shooting. I used it antelope hunting where you sometimes spot a goat, get out of truck, walk from a dozen to a million dozen feet, and hope to get a shot. Easy to carry but when I try to steady the gun on it, it just doesn't happen. Too wiggly. Need at least a bipod to get a good rest---and even a bipod technically requires a tripod, with the third leg being your body.

Maybe it's just me, though.

I have used a mono pod for years, but the height adj was a bit of a pain. I bought the trigger stick and like the way it works. The only draw back is the weight mono pod is 1 pd and I think the trigger stick is 2.5 pd.

I used the tall one last year, I needed a walking stick because of bad back.
It works good. I was surprised that I could use it while sitting If I placed it
on a slight angle, the only thing I would like to see is the trigger to need
more pressure to pull.

I have the tall Primos; I don't trust it because the trigger is too "light", all too easy to suddenly lower the rifle, just like artway311 said. I also totally agree with Buckrub about its being unsteady. Still, it's better than offhand, I guess. If I hadn't already thrown away my money on the monopod, I'd probably buy the tripod, trigger and all.
