Title: Primos walking sticks question
Post by: Learo2000GT on September 24, 2021, 08:04:51 AM

In a different post the primo walking sticks were recommend for glassing and shooting.   

My question is do most people prefer the bipod or tripod.   I could see the bipod being easier to deploy but when still hunting it could  add additional movement that an animal might see. 

Also I ordered vortex 10x50 binos and I see they have tripod adaptor.  Are those needs with the walking sticks. 


Admin- if this post should be in a different forum group I apologize and understand if it needs to be moved.  Thanks Doug

Tripod, but I’m a bit confused, the shooting sticks aren’t walking sticks, have they came out w a new product that is?  I remember directions on mine that specifically said not to use as walking sticks, and then mine being ruined and replaced because a buddy used them as walking sticks.  Pros and cons, they are bulky, a pain to carry (cause I don’t use them as walking sticks) but, when you need a steady shot, they work fast to set up and are solid.

I’ve used the tripod shooting sticks several times with daughters while hunting they set up quick and are well worth the money no spooking the animals

I used a bi-pod with all of my kids and they worked well, not as steady as a tri-pod I'm sure ,but steady enough for my youngsters to make a shot they probably wouldn't have made off-hand.  Now that they are all bigger than I am, we no longer carry them, but they definitely were with us every deer hunt in their younger years.

I flat love this forum... so glad I found it.... Always such great feedback and responses.   

Do I need any special adaptors for my 30-06 German Mauser but in a Remington 700 configuration basically or binos?  I ordered a bino adaptor for my new vortex 10X50 diamondback HD's and a swiss adaptor plate but got the adaptor plate for my AR and a bit different setup.  Thanks so much.

I have used a Primos Tall Bipod shooting stick for close to 20 years.
Collapse down they fit in the side pack pocket. My Sons used them as walking sticks as well.
