Quick stix rear support

[OverInfinite]

I primarily shoot off a tripod with a ball head and clipped in right in front of the mag well.
I typically try to use my bag as a rear support but sometimes its just not the right height. Depending on the angle its at a weird height where the bag upright is too tall and the ball laying down is too low, and I end up on my butt with my elbow on the bag I am still supporting the rear with my hand. No es Bueno...
I was wondering if anyone consistly uses the quick stix as a rear support, seems infinitely adjustable and more stable and consistent then the squishy bag.
I dont typically carry trekking poles. In fact I dont own a set.
Ive had some knee issues lately that might require surgery in the future and the first thing ive heard from multiple doctors is, use a pole when hauling heavy.. seems like a two birds one stone to my system, but looking to see if anyone has tried it first.

I have for range time, I haven’t had the opportunity in the field. I use the quick stir under my elbow and have done standing, kneeling and seated. It is extremely stable but it is not fast to set up. I think it can be useful in a situation where time is not a factor and you can build a position. However, if the animal moves, there are a lot of moving parts to reset the position.

I prefer a single trekking pole held with my left hand(right hand shooter) where my hand is under the butt of the stock.

A single trekking pole works fine (ive made plenty of 500-700+ yard shots in competition clipped in with a trekking pole rear). Watch some videos on how to shoot "tripod rear". And hold the trekking pole to the butt in a similar way. You won't need to adjust the pole at all, just extend it long enough and pinch the butt against it.

Buy a set of the cascade mountain techs for like $50 and give it a try. And you'll also have yourself a nice set of trekking poles to help haul stuff.
