Hi, trigger stick is ok as far as it goes, but quite expensive these days( I bought mine years ago -Gen1). Better are quad sticks, but again many bucks.

I find this pretty good, it is easy to carry when folded up in its bag(it has a loop to go over your shoulder) and can be deployed reasonably quickly. The result is not as steady as bags and a bench, but it is not far off, and it  costs about the same as a trigger stick does now.

I use it in conjunction with a folding chair that also goes over your shoulder on a loop. The one in this link is similar, but I bought mine in the UK a long time ago, and cannot remember the make - but I can have a look tomorrow

There is an awful lot of kit out there - it just costs money!

Thanks Misery. By the way, that second link is for a chair. Not a bad idea, the ground is a bit chilly at the moment.

I use Bog Pod sticks they are a trypod design I'm on my second set as my old ones the clips slowly broke one by one so I fixed it into one  position and use it standing or seated as the legs splayed right out .My family bought me a new sett for Christmas and these ar all black heavy duty version  absolutely brilliant the down side is the price!

ive tried both the mk1and mk2 trigger sticks and thier rubbish in my   Opinion the first ones flex to muchand I only any use for my .22  The second ones are stiffer still don't work for me I can't get on with them ithink I will be eBaying both.
