Primos Trigger Stick Gen 3 Monopod

[@nelsondoan8271]

I’ve been using this same stick for a few years now, and focusing on discovering as much as I can about it’s potential. Here’s what I’ve found so far: 1. It’s a good walking stick for some of the rough country I hunt. It provides additional stability for some of the up and down. 2. From a seated position you can angle a knee toward it, effectively turning it into a bipod. This past season, I was able to hold the crosshair inside the width of a twelve inch poplar tree at 440 yards in a brisk wind using this scheme. 3. I was able to achieve similar although not quite as good results from a kneeling position, again locking it against my knee. 4. Twice I’ve used it by locking it against a fence post to successfully take running deer at relatively close range. It can be effectively turned into a bipod in many circumstances if you keep your eyes open. 5. It also works pretty well to improve your accuracy substantially all by itself, the way it was designed, although I almost never use it that way. The downside: it can be noisy, especially if it comes in contact with your rifle barrel or any other equipment. It also rattles when extended if it contacts the ground in a certain way while using as a walking stick. Care and thought is required. While not perfect, this is the best hunting aid I’ve come across in many years, and I don’t go out without it. I should add that the techniques I’ve described need to be practised and assimilated before going out hunting, although some people will be able to jump right into them.

These are great pointers. I really appreciate your experience. I'm going to pin this comment to the top of the list.

I recently (before this video) came across the Primos Trigger Stick Tripod. I love it and it is easier to use and more reliable than another tripod I have used.

[@SocialRegressive]

Is yours quick to deploy?

[@cd7up]

Just got one after watching this in the store and walking with it for a bit. Time to find out how to work it.

[@lancelamoon5294]

I have this one and the tripod version love both of them. They last as well both I’ve had now about 3 years and I’m rough on them and still work like new.

[@SocialRegressive]

Thanks for letting us know they're durable!

[@allen_p]

A very nice option. I'm hunting in National Forest this year using tree mounted chair with short turkey blind in front. Probably would use the short version.

[@aintgonnaworrynomore]

Thanks for the review.

[@graypatriot1299]

thank you

[@joelclark2130]

Thank you great review, always thought about trying one. Now I think it's a go. Keep up the good work brother

[@SocialRegressive]

Thanks, Joel! If you buy one, please let us know how it works for you!

[@joelclark2130]

yes we'll keep you informed

[@oloflarsson7629]

IMHO the best way of using a monopod rifle stick it to run it diagonally from your support hand on the front of the stock, down into the ground, just under the front of your rear foot. So from your left hand to your right foot if you are right handed. That way, you get less sideways movement and the rifle moves far less up and down, if you move the rifle sideways, to track a moving animal. The disadvantage, is that it requires a monopod that is about as tall, as you are long, so the primus is much to short for that.

[@davidunderwood3605]

Have put a lot of thought in which one I would be most comfortable with. Dealing with a handicap which limits weight carried on longer distances makes a big difference and debate.

[@SocialRegressive]

I can understand that. Picking which gear to leave must be tough.

[@texpatriot8462]

I have a good carbon fiber monopod for my cameras. It would be nice to get a head like that for it.

[@bluepunk182]

I'm looking at trying a BOG with the deathgrip, and using a monopod for the buttstock portion of the rifle to try to get a bit more stability (or maybe a bipod). With the BOG alone, it wobbles a bit much for varmits at range (prairie dogs past 100 yards were NOT easy with just the BOG).

[@ZildjianMan30]

Some videos show how the military (Army and Marine Corp) utilize their version of the BOG grip tripod (Hog or something) and their rifle sling to do what you need. It's ingenious and really works. They essentially use tension on the sling, at the front mounting point, to wind around one tripod leg, and then to the shooter. Very quick to use as well.

[@amsb4dafunk406]

That one is a bit bulky. I attached a single point sling To My collapsible monopod to make it much more stable.

[@SocialRegressive]

Good thought.

[@eddiejennejr4342]

I’ve been using Hammers’ shooting sticks for years. They work great if you’re kneeling or sitting not for standing. But I have a mono pod stick for that. Normally how do you say structure or a tree for support standing

[@SocialRegressive]

Right on. I could have used a tree for support, but the layer of crunchy leaves and branches was impossible. I couldn't take one step from my spot. 🍂🎆

[@cd7up]

​@@SocialRegressiveI saw some files recently with 3D printable shooting stick heads that mount to cameras pods.

[@normoloid]

Why no one use a mushroom grip, wouldn't that provide best from both worlds?

[@papamooo602]

Where can I get that shirt?

[@toma382]

I've had monopods, bipods, and tripods. If you really want stability go with the tripod.

If anybody doesn't get what they told Santa they wanted, it's because Kyle murdered Rudolph.

[@SocialRegressive]

Delicious murder. 🥩

[@gordonfuentes808]

jis got minez n luv it very gr8 video onda brk down on diy awsum job mahaloz n aloooooooha 🤙🏾🏝️😎👊🏾💯🍒👌🏾🦌

[@supakrunch]

Jump cuts? WTH? I expect that from KZbinrs WITHOUT a Masters degree in media... LOL Using B-roll to cover cuts is good, but star wipes with giant border edges are even gooder! Even more gooder would be a rad 90's Michael Bya-ish canted lens-flare transition (with ubiquitous American flag waving in the background). Otherwise good video, buddy! Prof Z would knock the grade down a letter grade, though. ;) I need a new monopod after my son in law broke my cheap fiberglass model. As always, good show ol' boy!

[@SocialRegressive]

I've been cut to the core. Get it? Cut? Good to hear from you, Supakrunch!

[@supakrunch]

@@SocialRegressive Merry Christmas brother!

[@kilokiloj]

Thanks. Maybe shorten it by 15 minutes. : )

[@blackbear65]

I’m not a fan of these things. It’s like a unicycle for your rifle.

[@lyltlylt]

plastic gets tackey after awhile.

[@preacher031163]

The problem with this review is u ramble,and u dont even touch on the fact that most of us older folks need a walking stick especially off road.. this stick works perfect for a rest and a walking stick...
