anyone using a monopod shooting stick?

[Revin]

I like to lean against a tree to improve my steadiness but I am thinking of a monopod for when a tree is not handy. Bipod would be steadier but also more difficult to carry around the woods. I've read that the Primus monopod is sturdy enough to use as a walking stick. That could help justify it's price tag. Any comments about the Primus or other monopod as a walking stick.

I have a primus trigger stick and it's been working fine a a walking stick also.

Seems you are all set. I am cheap so purchased a threaded insert at the Hardware store, inserted into a piece of wood & attached my smallest bag. Very top heavy that way.
Thought I would share this pa review just for the picture of how I've used one for squirrel & FT.

I have bipods and tripods ranging from $40. To over a $1000. And I’ve tried just about everything I think,and my absolute favorite for Airguns is the Primos Trigger Stick Gen3 Tripod. its my go to platform almost exclusivel.

I have the gen 1 Trigger Stick and wouldn't walk around the dairy without it. No leaning up against the fence rails and being accosted by cows.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Another vote for the primos sticks. The short monopod is great and the tripod is rock steady. The feet can be uneven and still provide a solid rest. The yoke is perfect for shooting off of right out of the box.

Very cool! And yes, that sound when hit is addicting! LOL! I use mine mainly for sniping rats!

As I said. it never gets old...

If anyone is thinking about trying a monopod grab the $25 one from amazon. I didn’t know if I would like using one so i bought a cheap one to try it. Well the first shot I took with it i immediately ordered a second one to just keep in my truck. I don’t always use it but it is there and way better than carrying around my tripod.

I would agree with that. Also get the $14 shallow V shaped rest for the top of it. Standard 1/4-20 base and it works great.
