Who hunts with one and which one? The Coldwell Deadshot is the one that caught my attention. Running a FX Royal500 and looking for a rest to help out on those far shots.
Monopod, bypod, tripod?

When hunting big game and varmints I normally have a Harris Bi-Pod attached to my rifles, whether I use them or not.
Last year I was invited to shoot Belding Ground Squirrels along with 4 other airgunners, who shoot FT.
So we took the buckets and the bipods along for rel practice, especially at longer ranges.
The others also shot 17HMR rifles off the bipod and I shot the .25 Marauder, 10/22, and Thompson/Center Contender (in Carbine configuration) in .223.
Good practice...err..not that MY scoress show it.

Depending on model, the Deadshot may be a bit large and bulky to walk about with, but it’s very stable. I have the heavy duty one and don’t think I will take it in the field.
I’m thinking of getting a Primos Trigger Stick Monopod for trekking around. Should be enough to take the edge off my shaky butt.

Bogpod tripod is great for woods walking. Light and fast to setup, for kneeling or standing positions.

Was mostly gonna use the Deadshot when hunting from a pop up groundblind. So it would be a sitting position. I like the look of that Bogpod but when I use the attacked bypod on my gun I'm getting a pivot affect when standing or kneeling, thinking that might do the same.

I use a primos trigger stick with all my hunting, both the tall tripod and monopod. Can’t beat them, light, easy and reliable.

Primos trigger stick is the one I like the tall one is the best in my opinion
it works great when standing or collapse it down when sitting down .

I use a bipod on my rifle and also carry the trigger stick as a back up in case I need to take a kneeling or standing shot.

Home made mono from an old LLBean treking pole. Took the old grip and knob off, added a 10" wooden dowel extension and four foam rubber grips. Very light at 11oz so very easy to carry around in the woods. Quickly change your shooting angle without adjusting the pole.

Nothing sets up or adjusts to uneven ground quicker than the Triggerstick. The older I get-tripods work better for me.

I got a trigger stick bipod a few years ago, this past year I wanted something a little more stable so I picked up the Tripod. I saw a pic of someone using both on the web. I gave it a try and its rock solid and infinitly adjustable. I now use it exclusively at my outdoor range. The trick is to use the 2 rubber straps to secure the bipod and tripod legs together. I put fishing line between the 2 heads to keep the bipod in position when the gun isn't in it. It's a little bulky for woods walking, but it's more solid than my Caldwell Deadshot Chairpod I use for my indoor range. You can be deploy one handed by kicking the tripod legs out.
