Barrelsniffer Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Need a bit of help if possible, I was at the shoot show yesterday 13th I came across a set of quad shooting sticks they were not the Hammond or decoy sealand model can't remember what stall it was but it said steady sticks I think they were very light and flexible and price was 195 reduced to 170 pounds. Now did anyone else see these quad sticks or buy a set as tried finding them on google and all I'm getting are the usual makes.

The Gun Pimp Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Would that be on the Tier One stand? I was looking at some very light carbon-fibre sticks on Tier One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrelsniffer Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 not sure it was the tier one stand but could be wrong what price were them ones ? The ones I looked at they had a very thin flexible model for 170 then another slightly thicker model cheaper price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyR Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 The ones on the Tier One stand were the Spartan ones, same people who make the Javelin bipods and they are not quad sticks, bipod or tripod only. Very very nice though. There was a stand in the same row selling quad sticks but the name evades me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJR Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 We're they the ones with the push buttons to extend them? If so I saw the viper flex ones from Denmark. I think they were on the Hammond stand though? http://viper-flex.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=22&Itemid=186&lang=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJR Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 What do you see as the advantage of these over the viper sticks? I've used quad sticks and like them but the ones I've used have had three disadvantages - they are slow to adjust height wise, difficult to use sitting and the v in the top restricts the movement of the rifle if your target moves. The vipers seemed to adress all these issues, what about the mountain sticks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I can't believe the price difference across the board for this style of stick. The stable stick seem the best value. http://www.yorkguns.com/4-stable-stick-bush-sticks-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Gary Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 quite a few of us down here are using the Hammond sticks for foxing and stalking, some friends are even putting clients on them and having good results, I haven't tried that yet, still use the stoney point tripod for that. they have been a real game changer, enabling long range rested shots from the standing position. I haven't found the need to try them kneeling, simply take the standing shot from where you are, shots have been taken at distances where bipods normally be used. one of my rifles, I don't even use a bipod on now (.243), the ranges that accurate shots can be placed are further than the useful range of the calibre and bullet weight used. as always, buy once, cry once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vipers seemed to adress all these issues, what about the mountain sticks? I've only just recently 2 weeks ago bought a set of quad sticks ie the "Hammond" make, I've been using bipod and tripod sticks for many years and thought what's the hype with the quads, I've only managed to use them once so far but I am liking how steady they are for a shot much better than what I've used so far, now ref the stable mountain sticks I was walking past the stall where they were and they were unbelievably much lighter than the Hammond but when I seen the price I walked on but then when got home couldn't remember what make they were when chatting to a mate about them. Like the viper/Hammond the stable sticks also have the front rest a few inches wide for traversing your rifle left and right but as you say shame they can't be broke down/adjusted for taking shots while sitting.

MJR Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I really like to be able to use them for sitting shots. I like to sit out and wait for Charlie and if the cover is up a bipod is useless. I'd like to find quad sticks that go down to say 18" tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
