Good, bad? Doesn't have to be this brand, any info will do.

Thanx.

Buddy of mine just bought me one,the mono pod that doubles as a walking stick.I thanked him very much.But(and I never said it out loud)it seems pretty useless for me.Most of my shooting is within 100 yards and there is always something to rest on if need be.I can`t see packing a stick and setting it up and shooting,takes too long.I used to use a Harris bi-pod for Dawson Creek area,lots of 200+ yard shots,but there,you had time to set up.

I use the Cabelas sticks and like them alot. They are very versatile for back pack hunting, you can remove one of the legs and use it as a bipod and then use the severed leg as a trekking pole. You can remove the gun turret and mount a pivoting spotting scope mount, you can also mount your camera on it. And most important, its a very solid rest for long range shooting.

I have the trigger stick and it works great, not one you would want to take on a hiking trip, far to heavy. I also have a mono pod from WSS (can't remember the make) and it is a quick quarter turn to adjust, extremely light weight and good for a walking stick too.

I have the mono pod trigger stick and like it so far. I will tell you that they don't work well in the cold.

I used the above stoney rapid bipods with good results for a few years as well, but found them a little awkward when walking and leaving them attached to the rifle. I found that they're faster to deploy than most attached bi-bods (like harris bi-pods), but you still end up fiddling with the height adjustments. Now I use the stoney point steady sticks instead. http://www.stoneypoint.com/products/bp_steady_stix.html
You can fold them up and wear them on your belt so they're instantly available, while being out of your way while hiking. Or I can attach them to the top (across) my fanny pack where they're completely out of the way, yet I can reach and deploy them without taking my eyes of the game. You don't need to fiddle with clamps or rings to quickly adjust for height eiither.

I agree with thumper1 I wouldn't try walking around with a stony point by-pod attached to the gun. Its more of a set it up and glass the hillside or cut block ,unclip it and putt it in your pack before you leave type of tool.what is great is it doesn't ad any real weight to your pack.
