The quick stix are awesome.
The clip is sorta meh in my mind. Slightly more stable but not much, and if you don’t cross your trekking poles the correct way it won’t clip in due to clearance issues when the picitanny lever. You also have to set up your adapters further down away from the handles to due to the same issue. It’s not worthless, and with practice it can work well and quickly, but it’s sort of tedious compared to the quick stix without the adapter.
I shot my elk using my quick stix without the quick clip despite having it on my rifle last year. I might not even take it this year. The quick stix are great for a 250 yard or shorter shot you need to make in a hurry.
Further than that I’m going to use my spartan bipod or put my rifle on my pack.
