Trigger sticks

[Gunning5]

What are your thoughts on trigger sticks? I will be using a shotgun from tree stand using open sites this year, and was thinking this would up my chances of getting something. The Primo sticks look really nice, what do you guys think?

I’m in on this. I’m trying to figure out what I want to do for a do it all shooting sticks system. My buddy swears by the 3 leg primos tall trigger sticks for spot and stalk.

I scored one at a garage sale this spring for $5. Its just the single stick but goes all the way to standing height. I don't remember the inches off hand. I've played around with it in the backyard and I really like it, so far. I do quite a bit of mobile hunting during our firearms season and I think it will definitely beat taking a shot, off hand.

I use the tripod for nighttime coyote hunting. I like it. I was just looking at the monopod today. I don’t think I would carry them on most deer/elk hunts though because they are heavier than needed.

I've been using the trigger stick mono in treestands and ground blinds for years with success. I find a lot of shooting rails are too short to use if you're not a contortionist, so I lean the strigger stick against it for extra support. I used the tripod in the ground blind for the first time last year and I'm hooked. Much steadier than the mono. There is a rubber strap near the feet to secure the legs together. With them strapped, the legs will extend together as one for use as a mono in treestands.

I use the three leg version for deer and coyote hunting. They also work great to support binoculars on to scan longer ranges. If you have a spotting scope or take pictures with smaller cameras, the tripod head unscrews and you can attach these devices. There are different versions of the tripod so if you find a used set keep that in mind as the newest ones have a way to lock the legs into various angles, something you can't do with the older models. Good luck.

I don't have any experience with tree stands. They work great with kids, my daughter shot a bull elk last week in Colorado at 200 yds. The tall tripod is kind of heavy, but I carried them for her and it worked great.

I'm a big fan of the primos trigger sticks. I've used them for a few years now hunting whitetails here in the upper midwest. I use them when hunting on the ground, and even up in tree stands. They can be a little cumbersome to use up in a portable, but from a ladder stand they work great, as the shooting rails on most, are too low. I would def recommend.

I use my tripod for the exact same reason, when hunting with my daughters.

I bought a tripod set on sale at Cabelas and I use them for turkey. They work fine. You need a pretty big deer stand to set them up in so, If I were buying again, I’d probably get the mono version. If you work it a little, you can use a tripod or trekking pole and get basically the same result.

jim shockey primos are outstanding

I really like my monopod trigger stick. I've used in a treestand several times and it works well. Really prefer it when on the ground though. I use it during squirrel season as well when hunting with a 22lr. Killed my limit a lot of times off that thing.

Is there a difference between the normal primos trigger sticks and the Jim shockey primos trigger sticks?

The think it’s just the tripod that is called the Jim Shockey Edition.

I've got the original tall monopod trigger stik . That thing rides on the left side of my backpack and goes everywhere I do . Every deer I've shot in western Kansas, (several) has been shot off that stik. Use it for glassing ext., ect ,ect . Love it !

 

[Gunning5]

Dude love it! Well after all the solid feedback I’m definitely gonna “pull the trigger” on buying this. Thanks for convincing me everyone

For my way of hunting I like the mono . For stationary longer range hunting I would consider the bipod version. The mono is light and easy to carry , especially when your packing meat !
