Shooting while standing can be the most difficult position, but is remedied with shooting sticks. This position is also quick to get into and stand up from if the situation changes and you have to move. Using the Trigger Sticks, downward pressure is applied to the grip against the supporting tripod legs. The support knee is down against the ground while the support-side elbow is unsupported. This kneeling position is quick to bounce out of and quite stable.Ī variation of the traditional one-knee kneeling position is to switch legs and support the firing-hand’s elbow or forearm on the inside or on top of the strong-side thigh. The shooter simply sits on the back of the strong-side foot or ankle. This position is excellent when using the Trigger Sticks Tri-Pod because the shooter can adjust the height of the legs perfectly and instantly.Īnother kneeling position involves propping up the support-side knee to use as a support for the support-side elbow. Leaning forward into the stock of the rifle applies downward pressure to the forearm, which can rest in the V-shaped yoke.
If time is available, the shooter can sit on the back of both feet while kneeling on both knees. Kneeling positions are natural positions to fall into when you expect that you may have to react to changing action in the field. You can comfortably rest each elbow on the inside of each knee or thing. A typical seated position can be with the legs crossed and feet tucked under the opposite thigh. The Tri-Pod models can also accommodate numerous sitting positions for good stability, increased height to clear ground-covering objects and extended observation periods. To improve this position, a hunter’s pack can be put under the chest and under the elbow for increased stability and reduced fatigue. Although Tri-Pod models of Trigger Sticks won’t drop low enough for low prone shooting, they can be used for a taller supported prone position in the field, which works when shooting low over grass, rocks and vegetation. Trigger Sticks can adapt to shoot from a variety of positions. Releasing the trigger locks the legs in place, so you can instantly set your sticks to the proper height regardless of position.
By pulling back on the trigger, the legs - one, two, or three depending on the model - instantly drop until they touch the ground or if the trigger is released. A trigger system allows the user to quickly adjust and lock their height for rapid deployment.
Trigger Sticks derives its name from the obvious. In contrast, Trigger Sticks can be set up in seconds. Speed is difficult with telescoping shooting sticks that require one to loosen, drop, and then tighten each individual leg. Hunters not only have to develop a steady rest in the field but, in many cases, have to do so quickly.
