    Used my Trigger Sticks today

    Took them with me (first time) to the farm today. Tailgate up on my car so I could sit on back/boot edge, set up targets and my Trigger Sticks, wow what a difference to my accuracy, 5 pellets practically through the same hole at 30 yards with my Ultra. Target at 40 yards, nearly as good. Well impressed, looking forward to using them on the rabbits

    Well you’ve got them now You can get a further attachment that gives you a 2 point rest that pops on top but I find mine are fine as they are, any more stability and it’s just ‘cheating

    Had an email from Bushwear today, because I got my gen 2 off them. They are doing the gen 3 at the British Shooting Show for £100. Now that's a good buy

    Jeeze! Where have you all been the last twenty years, in a cave?
    I know it is a little bit different with me, but I learned a long time ago I was missing so many opportunities by trying to find a knee, lie down, a tree/bush whatever. Then I made up a pair of cheap sticks out of the cheap plastic coated ally garden stakes and boom!
    Instantly revolutionised my work.
    I never, and I mean pretty much never take a shot other than off sticks whether it be sub 12 for rat or .308 for deer.

    Must say, my best investment since a rangefinder. I use mine day and night. Absolutely brilliant.

    When I broke my ankle a few years ago playing Fitba', I ended up in crutches for a cupla months and they were pefect for stabilising my rifle...
    However I don't recommend going through the broken ankle stage in order to obtain crutches for improving your shooting accuracy!!��

    You will soon see people wondering round perms with fishing trolleys stacked with rests, pellets, rifles, stools, decoys, feeders, hides, tents, umbrellas & stoves!! Lol

    I use mine for deer stalking primarily and its fair to say that generally I don't need them preferring the bipod but every now and again in very open boggy terraine when no available rest is to be found, they are the "Bee's Knees" and are rock steady !
    What I like about them is their ability to go down low for use in a sitting position, some thing "old fasioned" sticks can't easily do !

    Always give 'em a good inspection and clean down after each use though as dirt/grit and the like can b*gger them up.
