I’ve got a set of Primos tall tripod trigger sticks that I’ve had for a couple of years and they have been awesome for my kids out hunting but on my last trip, the screw holding the palm grip must have backed out and the tan/green palm grip fell off. I looked for it for an hour and couldn’t find it. I called primos when I got home and they have zero product support for them and have no parts available for replacement either. They did offer 25% off msrp for a new set of sticks which price I could beat purchasing from other vendors online. I find that a bit frustrating that they don’t have simple parts available for something so expensive.
Soooo…for a long shot, anyone have a set of broken trigger sticks laying around that I could buy the grip off of? Thanks.

Wish I had some spare parts for you. I have taken mine apart several times and know that the handle does perform some structural role, especially right above where the screw hole is. Mine cracked there and I had to lay down a number of layers of fiberglass to beef that area up. Too bad the handle is fairly complex, as I don't see anyone just spitting out a 3D printed copy for you. Keep up your search, as there are likely a number of unused or broken ones around where the handle is still in good shape.

PS - I tethered the yoke to the main handle with thin paracord as I have almost lost them in the field before.

They are great but not a long term investment. Dont ever get em wet.

After 3 pairs i bought a cabelas shooting stick and it is a lil dif but less prone to failure.

I had one break also. I think I still have it around somewhere, if I can find it, you're welcome to it.

I got them wet a couple of years ago on a whitetail hunt in north Idaho and it took a long while to get them dried out and back to normal function. I’ll have to look into the Cabela’s one for a backup. The pair I have functions perfect, it’s just the guts of the mechanism are exposed now that the grip is missing and I don’t want it coming undone. I’d hate to destroy/toss them out when they can be fixed so easily. Thanks for the replies all!

I found them, they may be an older version. If you think they'll work you're welcome to them.

Yea thats the older design.
It's nothing interchangeable to the newer design.



I sent a text to a guy that use to be in my department when I worked at primos. If he has one in the warehouse I'll see if I can get it.

I have had 2 of these trigger sticks and both of them have had the exact same issue. The first time I called Primos and they sent me a whole new setup. I haven't called them yet about my current one where the rest fell off. I would recommend calling them again. Not sure if it would help or not. It is an obvious design flaw.

Dang! That looks like the wrong gen, mine are the gen 3. Thanks so much though for your willingness to help another out! Much appreciated!

That would be awesome! The girl I talked to at primos kept telling me there was no parts available except the shooting yoke on top and there was nothing they could do. I kept asking for someone else or a manager and she told me she was the only person there was for that issue. Found that hard to believe but she didn’t budge. I’ll try calling back and see if I can get someone else… Thanks!

You’d think they’d have a few simple parts like the grip laying around for customer support, especially if it’s a common problem. That would be pennies on the dollar for a company to provide a little support for their product. But oh well, this is a disposable age we’re in. I’ve had the sticks a few years and don’t expect them at all to replace them, but it’d be nice to have parts to buy to keep them going.

Yea there is only one in customer service and she can be a pain. I worked there for a year doing inventory management and it was terrible.
My buddy doesn't go back to work till the 2nd so that's no help.

Looks like someone has you taken care of tho.

Much appreciated though! Sorry to hear working at Primos wasn’t that fun. Hope some good luck comes your way!
