Shooting Sticks

[ganderblaster]

Over the weekend while on a late season elk hunt I found out my Primos Trigger Stix are not meant to be thrown at blue grouse in sub 30 temps even lightly😂. I liked them but are there any good options out there with less plastic? What do you guys use while hunting on the prairies snd a rest is often not available?

There are lots of aluminum sticks and I have made sticks out of wood with a leather hinge. All in however, I have never used any of them as throwing sticks so no sure which would work best for that purpose.

I have a set of each of these and a few more. All work great but I also like the Primos sticks.

Make mine out of those fiberglass electric fence sticks that have all the holes drilled in them. Put a machine screw through both, couple nuts on end,,, hockey tape up the handles and away you go,, cheap and tough.....

Pic from yesterday. It was -29 although I didn't find any Blue Grouse to spear I was using it for a walking stick (one leg extended).

There are stronger sticks, but the Primos is so quick to use, I am sticking with them. Then again, I don't throw them.

This was stupid expensive, but got it for $160 on a price match---works great, only thing is legs need a little work to get a rough end--too smooth---wont dig into snow when sitting
