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.

I shot my Wyoming bear using my tripod and the Wiser Quick Stixs on my trekking poles this year. 440 yards. Made a great rear rest. Weighs next to nothing on my poles. I had borrowed the set I was using this year but will order my own set before deer season opens.

The Quick Sticks seem like a great idea. But it's pretty easy to get torque into the rifle using them.

But a single pole in the rear works. Or just using your poles to shoot off of. Or I've been playing with just simple home made shooting sticks. Shot a lot today using the homemade sticks.
I carry poles but not on every hunt. I'm quicker with sticks than trying to rig my poles together for a rest.

I may have to try it. if the shot is under 200 yards and fast paced, I'll obviously just clip and shoot but this is to tidy up my wobble zone for the 400-600 yard shots
