Looking to buy some new quad sticks, can you please suggest some good ones. Like the look of the blaser sticks, does anyone use them and what do they think of them. Open to all suggestions. Thanks
 
Ive not tried the Blaser sticks or even seen them in person yet so cannot judge.

I’ve tried most others on the market and in my opinion viperflex are the best by quite a margin (which is just as well as they exceed the price of most others by quite a margin too)

cheers

I use the vipers after trying pretty much everything else, including tripods and they are imo easily the best. I recently used the Blaser ones. Nice to carry but the rabbit ears are a nonsense.
 
Have both vipers and limulus in my armoury now, all my other sticks are redundant for shooting off. Still use the blackthorn for hill walking however ;)
 
I have a Bogpod tripod, Limulus sticks and now have some Blaser carbon sticks...all three have plusses and minuses, so it does depend on your use and circumstances.

The unique feature of the Blaser sticks which enables you to pivot around one leg side for coarse positioning and then rotate the front fork for fine windage tuning without any change of forehand grip on either sticks or rifle is well worth exploring before you make a choice....

I have the Blaser sticks and have used them since march and it is a bit of a mixed bag as far as the review is concerned.First of all i love the concept of the pistol grip head for tracking a moving deer it is a really great idea and works in the field.The main downside which has been well documented are the 4 adjusting units on the legs which come loose and can cause havoc when you go to deploy the sticks and they give way , this has cost me a couple of chances of a shot.I now have the sticks set at the required height and some black tape over the adjusters to prevent them doing this again.This solution is not what you would have to do to a set of sticks of this supposed quality and i do think that Blaser will have to address this problem possibly in the MK2 should it appear.I have reported this fault to my retailer in the hope that it will be rectified and i can have a replacement set.
 
As always, down to personal preference; but the Blaser sticks work best for me. I have tried all sorts, from home made up to the Blaser ones. The tracking function of the front grip really is useful. The locking collars on mine did come loose initially, then I used my monkey strength to tighten them - no probs since.
Both my centre fire rifles will sit unsupported in the yokes of the sticks, which I find a big plus point. Allows me to faff about while only using the one hand to support the sticks.
 
I rate the seeland shooting sticks personally. They are ruff and ready, but I really like the “play” in them. I’ve used the same set for 5 years or so now. Yes, they are cracked and lost a screw at times, but still work great and are easy to deploy and above all, quiet. They are stable enough to shoot at all “stalking distances” and some.

I borrowed my mate’s viper flex a few months back. I really didn’t like them and they aren’t cheap. Also noisy and take some effort to deploy
 
I recently purchased the new Blaser quad sticks with the rotatable pistol grip and think they are excellent, though a little pricy at approx £250. If you can stomach the price I would recommend them.
 
I have used both Viper flex and Seeland quad sticks - both work REALLY well, in fact I now hate to shoot of anything else. Viper Flex are better made but both seem as stable.
 
My Seeland sticks so lite ,so usable have made my trigger sticks redundant. And if I'm in the traditional mood Limulus quad sticks are the nuts .
 
I will tell all as soon as the NDA expires on the ones I got just before Christmas. Im hoping May/June will allow disclosure. Not much use now though I suppose as April 1st would have been an ideal launch date
 
I really like Viper flex. My only minor complaints are:
- at £250, they are expensive.
- The legs can tap together sounding like hollow metal banging together, an unnatural woodland noise
- sometimes the wind whistles over the adjustment holes

Now I know what height I need I am going to copy them. 2 for the price of one!
 
I have tried a number of different quads and my personal choice is the B&Q deluxe model comprising of 4 plastic coated metal poles. Best tip is on the front forks - string a piece of webbing/belt between the two pole tips which is not quite taut when sticks are deployed - this gives you great lateral fine adjustment simply by pushing/ pulling the fore end with thumb/fingers and a super steady deployment. Vertical adjustment is leaning forward for closer range and you can probably work out how you deal with longer range! I have used mine for 10 years and still solid as you could wish for - entirely confident for fox out to 200yds plus. Cost less than £20 incl. 4 bolts for joints. If you break/ lose them B&Q have so many poles they are selling them! A smaller set for kneeling/sitting shots is a good idea too - ideal for tall heather. Photo attached for the hard of thinking.
