Blaser carbon shooting sticks

[Freeforester]

Thanks for your first impressions AJ, very helpful.

As someone who has been using a three legged stick for thirty years, I always found speed of set up plus the lack/limited amount of lateral tracking possible with quad sticks to be a greater disadvantage than the potential loss in total accuracy of the home made tripod I've used; the Jakele sticks went some way to address the tracking aspect, but at a fair weight penalty; time will tell, of course, but Blaser may have stolen a march on the competition with this design, as the lateral tracking aspect seems to be pretty much covered in their system.

Could you do a test for me , at a 100 mtr distance, could you tell us the approximate distance left to right of movement please ??

Any ideas who’s stocking said item

never used 4 sticks before, but they do look pretty stable and workable

worth a look over.

I'm sorry, the Viperflex are great sticks, but they're simply not as good as these. Yes, I have used the latest version too.

As for who has stock, I'm not wanting to push any one retailer over another necessarily, but I bought mine from Swillington Shooting Supplies, they have stock and I got them next day.

No problem, I'll happily provide further impressions once I've done some shooting off them.

I have to agree, Blaser really have poked a proverbial wasps nest here. Ok, they're not cheap, especially if you're used to making your own sticks, but compared to their peers they're actually good value, which isn't something often associated with Blaser! It will be interesting if and how others respond.

I started off with borrowed tripod sticks, then bought some mid-range twin sticks which I used for years. Used fairly expensive tripod sticks, then borrowed Jakele and Viperflex Elite quad sticks and now finally purchased these after trying a set a friend bought.

No, admittedly not, but I was looking to reduce bulk and weight.

I am a big blaser fan and will no doubt try a mates set at some point but for me shooting deer and foxes everyday the 5th leg transforms the viper flex to a league of their own.

I put a fifth leg on both my sets, certainly makes them super stable, you can zero off them with it attached no problem.

Braces of Bristol have them. I like them very good.

Just ordered a set from Bushwear today. Resisted quad sticks for years but the rotating front fork looks as if it could make all the dfference.

Do the Blaser sticks come with an option of a 5th leg?

Order a fifth leg from suppliers of Viperflex, or make one, the former is very simple to attach and works with other makes, eg Mjoelner, simple to keep in place via some electrical tape or similar. You can also make one if you're at all handy.

I'm sure Blaser will be offering a bespoke solution in due course if not already!

No, but you could easily make a virtual one with a length of paracord or dyneema Jakele style. In fact, I'm going to have a play with that idea.

I found that a solid front fifth leg works better (for me) than the 'back-string solution', both in terms of overall accuracy and having a good body position and lack of strain on both user and stick set up.

thanks guys, I seen the Blaser sticks at the BSS and regret not having a play with them. Currently using bushwear sticks but the tracking ability really appeals to me for my foxing.

A "5th leg"?

Why not just take up benchrest shooting and enjoy the use of a stool too!

I can understand the benefit of a 5th leg for zeroing but for stalking I feel it would put a restriction on vertical movement.

 

[Beretta shooter]

I always find it hilarious when people automatically start slagging others off with out first asking questions! Would I use a 5th leg when stalking I would very much doubt it but would I use a 5th leg when foxing? Quite possibly every time I go out! A high percentage of my foxing is done on foot and shot from sticks but I find it a guddle at times to spot with my thermal and find the target with my drone ( Narrow field of view) ready for shooting as the target is on the move more often than not so having a set of sticks with a 5th leg that will support my rifle and leave me hand free to spot would help no end! However if you do all your foxing from the comfort of a vehicle, don’t fox on foot or are more interested in jumping to conclusions! crack on with your non 5th leg sticks and small minded attitude
