Recommended Quad Sticks

BRACES of Bristol - Sauer 100 XTA Stainless Package
Depends on what you want to spend. I ll kick it off - I have a set of Viperflex Journey + sticks..yes they were expensive but I love them. Appreciate you can make sets out of garden canes for £20 but I really couldnt be arsed :)
 
Happy to pay whatever if the quality is there. How much did you pay?

Premium Quad Stick Comparison/Review Blaser vs Viperflex vs Spartan

Now I am fully expecting some lively responses to this because very few other things get shooters quite so emotive as shooting sticks. Well, maybe the best deer calibre…..

Now I fully appreciate that a large proportion of the stalking population will live and die using their four bits of bamboo from B&Q, and I fully respect that carbon fibre isn’t for everyone. But like society in general, we are all different, and some people either have or are in the market for the sticks discussed below. If you feel the need to make a...

Viper flex.
I’ve got the blaser sticks, love them but they’ve Broken twice. Just through use not abuse.
I’ve used viper flex and they’ll be my next purchase. Much more of a solid design.
 
B&Q
Same as most people use.
About twelve quid for the basic model I think, unless anyone can give an updated price?
Can be upgraded at modest expense using 3D printed components supplied by a member on here, @takbok

Post in thread 'Premium Quad Stick Comparison/Review Blaser vs Viperflex vs Spartan'

I've been on a similar journey trying many sticks (at least 4 sets in the garage) and have ended up with a bit of a compromise. I use Blaser V2 sticks (now on second set) with a Viper 5th leg and mount using a turned down magnetic Spartan adapter instead of the front yoke. This ensures consistent set-up. I keep my sticks extended in the car/storage and agree it can be fiddly to get right quickly. I've also had a joint come loose whilst tracking a stag up in Scotland last week but its easy to rectify and the stag was quickly on the ground. What I like most about the Viper 5th is that...

Thread 'Monkey Sticks !!'

Right, Ive been meaning to post this for a while!
What follows is a step-by-step guide of how to make the most stable shooting sticks you will ever use for about £10 !!
Firstly, get down to a DIY type garden centre and purchase 4 of their 1.8m plastic coated garden canes (which are actually metal tubes). They cost about £2.50 each.

1. Select 2 of them which we will then shorten by 2-4" depending upon your height. You should see a small ridge at about 1cm from the flat top end of the stick which is where the blanking plug meets the metal tube. Cut gently around this with a stanley knife...

Thread '3d printed DIY quad sticks'

My wooden quad sticks are great but they can be noisy and don't allow for any lateral adjustment of rifle to track deer that move.

I've had 4 green b&q garden canes lying around for years since I decided that I needed quad sticks and then promptly bought the wooden ones.

I've mulled over the design for a few weeks in the odd spare moments I've found, ordered some nice fasteners, and finally got the bottom hinge modelled this morning. I then started the 3d printer to do the top cradles and bottom hinge in rubber and returned this afternoon to the completed parts.

I assembled everything...

Thank you very much
 
I'm obviously tight fisted!
However my stalking ground is mainly woods a very steeply sloping dence beech forest.
It's very difficult and most of my success has been sit and snipe.
For stalking due to the wildly sloping terrain I made quad sticks but tied all the joints with thin bungee. It allows the rifle to be moved and pushed about quite radically. Holding against the 'spring' helps me steady the gun . YMMV
