    Primos trrigger stick tripod alternative

    I nearly bought one a few months back, I'm on the verge of ordering one again. Any cheaper alternative, s ? any known faults with the Primos tripod version ?

    Good when they work, but they are NOT weatherproof in my experience and once you get water in the legs they become problematic. They are not obviously serviceable, but can be taken apart and serviced (drying and free-ing up rust, lubricating etc) if you have the courage to take them apart, but that would invaildate the warranty no doubt.

    Interesting - what do you use to hold the poles together? Presumably they are fixed height?

    I've been using an £11 cheapo, mono stick job from the bay for around a year now.

    It's in 3 sections that can be untwisted and extended just like a painting roller pole.
    It's got good rubber padding in the 'V' for the rifle.
    It's light and easy to carry.

    All of the above.

    Mmm know what you mean. I don't get many opportunities to shoot in the field but, these do look the business, just very high on the cost side.

    Absobloodlylutley old chap! Can't go wrong.
    I use two sets, one made from 6' green plastic coated canes and one from 3' , but I very rarely use the latter.
    Once you get the knack they are totally rock solid, I rarely take a shot without them.
    I drill them seven inches from the top, pop a bolt through, several washers either side, honestly can't go wrong. Only other thing is pop some pipe lagging a foot up from the bottom of one leg to stop any chance of them tapping against each other.


    And p bloody s! I thought you were coming down to do some moleing?

    If your ground is rough from livestock, or ploughing, undulating or hilly then trigger sticks are the business, no matter what height or angle you need to shoot, pull the trigger & there it is rock solid, silently in about 3 seconds.

    once you use them it's hard to go back to a lesser design, pricy but just about worth every penny.
