Apologies if this has been covered many times.
I am debating buying quad sticks, are they the best stable platform to shoot of when stalking on foot or would you recommend something else??

Quad sticks are the best IMHO. Lots use tripods but I prefer having front and rear supported. Always had viperflex and recommend them.

Agree with Paul. Have used Quad Sticks since I started stalking. Still have the first set that were made out of some garden canes from B&Q albeit they dont get much use nowadays but they will be passed onto the missus when she starts her stalking journey soon.

Currently using the offering from Blaser with the additional 5th leg which is great if you have the time to deploy it.

Have tried the tripod style ones and not a fan

Definitely get some decent quad sticks, and get used to deploying your rifle on them. The rear support is a game changer compared to normal sticks or light tripod type things.

Click to expand...

make and use a set of b and q set, a cheap way to learn the way to deploy them, then the art of the small adjustment. then keep and use the cheap set and save some cash.

Huge difference for me after using twin sticks for years and turning down shots further than 50 m as could just not get steady. Bought some Viper Flex and now shoot comfortably off sticks at 100m +, more of a game changer for me than thermal. Not that I use thermal of course lol

But for me quad sticks are the best innovation of recent years.

as others have said, i started out with a tripod, it was ok but again, as others have said, the read support is a game changer, i use the blaser because of the pan on the front end, more than useful,
i ping rabbits off at 150m with the HMR all night long, but thats just me, im awesome

Yes I think quads are the best. I’ve used a single stick, two hazel poles tied together, b&q canes and now viperflex with fifth leg. Wish I’d got the viperflex years ago. The benefit is that you can use them in so many different ways depending on how much time you have and how far away the deer is. Fifth leg only comes out for really long shots when I have loads of time. Quads are also good when you are waiting for a deer to turn or stand up. You don’t get stressed out trying to hold the shot. Practice with whatever you go with!
