I am thinking of making or buying some shooting sticks/bipod or a tripod for my HW95 for target shooting while camping, and for hunting ground squirrels and pests around my farm. My accuracy is much better with a good rest, I use to be a good shot off hand with my 10-22, but need to improve on that perishable skill.
I saw some shooting sticks make from the plastic garden stakes the home improvement stores sell which would be a cheap option. I really like the Primos trigger stick line for quick adjustment. I realize I will likely have to rest my hand on top of the sticks for a proper artillery hold on the gun. I looked at the Primos monopod which would be a great walking stick while hiking, but question is it is stable enough for shooting off of. The Bipod looks good and may be easier to walk with than the tripod, but I know the tripod would be more stable on my home range, for blind hunting, and set up for prairy dogs with my pellet gun and/or 10-22, or .243.
I want something I can hike around with, quick to deploy, and maybe using it as a walking stick; yet be able to shoot off of it for a bit more stability. I appreciate any advise and experiences with the range of shooting sticks which work with springers, and what has worked for you.
