A member of our club shoots off them, made them from plastic bean poles he sometimes practices at the range.
Looks stable, but takes for ever to setup!
Most of my deer would have died of old age by the time I set them up!

Practice is the answer. My success at bucks went up significantly since I started using the 4 sticks. Usually I am getting ready on the sticks before the roe have seen me and may stand watching for some time before taking a decision. If I'm close I may use them as twin sticks and on a couple of occasions I have not deployed the sticks at all but just used them as a single stick. The big benefit is that I stop moving and can watch. Regards JCS

Good for you Mr Campbellsmith - I like to see a have-a-go spirit :)

I bit the bullet and ordered a set last week, well they arrived this morning so I took them out as I was shooting rabbits to bait for foxes. They are ridiculously stable, 200 yard head shot rabbits with .17 hmr standing up, is good enough for me. The only thing that was a bit clumsy was the rifle sling getting in the way when I was trying to swing the rear rest back, I am sure it will get slicker with practice.
 
+1 for the quad sticks...

With practice theyre like shooting bench rest.

Accuracy on targets at longer distances than you would normally take a deer is phenomenal..
 
They are very stable but it really does depend on your stalking ground, twin fox bank sticks for me but would use quads for arable,atb Wayne
 
I swore I would never,,but I got a set of Tony at Kelso and gave them a try earlier this spring. I've had them out with me on every outing since! LOL...

I've ditched the tie bands, so I'm now in a position to deploy them in very swift time and get ready for a shot. Ok, I have lost a few opportunities at very close ranges where I had to be super-swift and where twin sticks would potentially have landed me a shot, but I have instead been able to take bucks at ranges where twin sticks would never have allowed, and comfortably take a shot on a deer that just stops for that second between young trees at 100-150yds where I'm not able to be prone.

the jury's out, but I think I'm sold, and I have to admit, my 'standing' shot placement has improved off the sticks too...the only negative thing is the damn noise they can make if you're not careful, and the time it takes to set up a shot if you need to be in a rush...you win some, you lose some,,but overall, I think I will win more than I lose with them.
 
Good to see you're getting on well with them PKL.
I'm interested as to how they are making a noise though. Can you elaborate?
Close shots (60-80yds say) I usually just use them as a single stick resting the gun on my fist.
