Primos Trigger Sticks Tripod...

[mark2cars]

I am a reasonably happy user of the Primos Trigger Stick Bipod. I find I need a more stable platform than they offer for longer shots. So I am considering their Tripod.

Does anyone have any experience with their Tripod? Any other suggestions?

Thanks...MNF

I have their tripod and absolutely love it. It gives good stability and portability and allows me to shoot accurately even with my RAW, which is very heavy for the field. When my friend tried it, he immediately ordered one.

I have one and love it. I don’t go hunting without it as it is hard to shoot off hand with a scope.

I have tremmors really bad but going to have a brain operation (dbs) in the very near future. I have the single, double, & triple style, kinda of a pain in the butt till you get use to them. I always shot off hand when I was younger but with old age I need a crutch. You will not go wrong with any of them but the triple is the steadiest. I use it for deer hunting in eastern Oregon (long distance shooting with rolling hills of sagebrush). Trust me it made all the difference in the world. Best of luck Darell

I made a rig out of my carbon photography tripod, a 4x4 construction bracket, covered it in foam padding and camo duct tape and my boys absolutely love it. Last night I actually made a second one for them with a small hornady gun vise mounted to the top. It's a little white trash but it's stable as can be. I attached a picture of our first version. I'll attach a picture of ver. 2 tonight. Stoti

Here's number two. Nothing fancy, but it's a rock solid rest for my boys to use to keep on target. Stoti

Very COOL !!! In far West Texas we call that "cowboy engineering" ! Great to see you getting your youngsters involved.

I have the Primos Trigger Stick tripod and really like it. It's main advantage is its light weight but not as steady as I would like. This is especially true with heavy rifles.

I needed something which would hold my heavy PB long range rifles. That's when I decided to look at the Hog Saddle tripod. I would not recommend this for spring powered or gas ram air rifles. On the other hand, these would be perfect for a PCP.

The Hog Saddle tripod and accessories are very expensive but worth every penny. I'm glad that I made the investment.

Here is the link for the tripod: http://stores.hogsaddle.com/pig0311-g-field-tripod-od-green/

The Pig Saddle and the Hog Saddle rifle rests, clamp your rifle for a stable hold. The Pig Saddle is cheaper and made of steel. it's a little heavier than the Hog Saddle; which has a few improvements that are lacking in the Pig Saddle. I have the Pig Saddle myself and it's great despite the lack of improvements.

I already had some heavy-duty ball heads and used them for the Hog Saddle tripod. If you don't have any, Hog Saddle also sells them and the prices are comparable to what you would get at camera stores.

Again, these would not be suitable for springers but are fantastic for PCPs. Here are a couple of video about the tripod.

I use a Hog Saddle on a Primos Gen 3 Jim Shockey tall tripod. Not as solid as my Manfrotto tripod, but nothing adjusts to uneven terrain than the Trigger Stick, and there is not much flat ground where I hunt.

That's an idea that I might have to try!
