Best Quad sticks?
- Thread starter Jefgingerbear

My opinion is there is too much chance of sideways movement with the yoke type of stick and people rely on it...

So, a friend bought his trigger sticks to the range today. I used them whilst shooting at 22LR at 200 yards and hit a V Bull… I quite like them, but I do come from a precision shooting perspective when it comes to support.
Thanks! I like it too!
Nothing fancy, but reliable and gets the job done.
In use, I have the rear fork of the sticks behind the rear sling stud, so it's actually against my shoulder, so I didn't need to do that. It also means that my sticks are ambidextrous, so no predefined right / left / front / back, and thus quicker to deploy (for a clumsy person like me).
If you prefer a shooting position with the sticks further forward then I can see that shortening one pole would be a benefit.

I have viper flex (second set) and have tried DIY, Limulus and Moljner (sp). Viper flex for me every time - significantly better in my opinion. Haven’t tried the new Spartan or the Blaser ones but my vipers wipe the floor with anything else I’ve tried.
They are expensive but this was the best option not the value option

Vipers, cheaper alternatives but in life sometimes you do get what you pay for, Vipers best in class IMHO taken the travel version to SA and Namibia great bit of kit. First trip to SA the PH/General Manager had never seen them before and was dismissive to begin with till he had a go, second trip back there a year later they had imported a set from Germany and encouraged clients to use them
Up until a couple of weeks ago I’d of said 4 stable sticks. I have had some for several years and really rate them. Although impressed by the quality of vipers I’ve always thought them slightly over engineered and a bit expensive.
I advised 2 good pals to get some stable sticks. They both went stalking together, one broke the rear support, the other set also failed (I forget how). I suspect my name was mud!
Turns out since I got mine they have changed the build to mainly plastic not alloy poles and they are far less robust. A shame, they were nice slender fairly cheap things, no doubt an accountant got involved in the construction. I suspect when I inevitably lose/destroy mine I’ll become part of the viper flex allthegearnoidea set

Agreed. However, may I respectfully observe it (success) might be said to hinge on one’s ability to so ‘improvise’ the manufacture of said kit.
Apologies if this sounds a little too much like the occasional Tim243 post that no doubt seeks to respectfully bemoan the dearth of certain skill sets and interest of such throughout the 21st Century population.

Tony (Limulus) I have used mine for years and would not stalk with out them. I have tried all sorts over the years and these are the best to use.
What makes you say that, out of interest?

Cracking set up you have there
I find everything about them wants to make a noise.
I find them ridiculous hard to deploy and when you finely get set up , unless you are on level ground the part of the sticks you rest the fore end on is at the same angle as the slope you are standing on resulting with the rifle trying to slide off the sticks.
Oh and unless you have hands like a giant the 5 poles are quite a handful after the first hour.
All that said my son likes them.

Anyone tried the new Spartan Springbok sticks? I expect they won't be cheap but they look like a pretty well thought out for set of quad sticks with plenty of quick adjustability and the quality will be top notch.
