Shooting sticks for springers

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

    Springers don't like shooting off hard surfaces. Why I always have my hand on bag when shooting.   Thats why I asked here. 
 Declan having used springers on sticks has encounter that. 
 I'm temped with the tripod and replace with a padded hand rest. 
 Still see what others have to say as well.

	I use the primos trigger sticks tripod. Very quick to set up on any kind of surface, and the legs settle and "level" in an instant. Even on sloping ground the are always exactly the correct length. Very stable and easy to use, quick quick. I dont see why this (or any kind of tripod, bipod otr mono pod) would not work with a springer, as long as you place the rifle into the V on the balance point of the rifle.
	Walk quietly, but carry a big stick.

	I tried using both a monopod and a bipod stick set up for my springer. My learning was that it was better to shoot without using them. Cheers. Declan.

	good set up. Could just make small padded hand support for on top I guess.

	I use a Vanguard tripod shooting at night with my PCP https://www.crkennedy.co.nz/products/v235882/vanguard-quest-t62u-shooting-tripod I reckon it's awesome. I haven't tried it with a springer but am sure it would reduce free standing wobble i.e. you'd gain more accuracy using it, even though might lose some accuracy from hold being affected.

	Are shooting sticks worth it for a springer air rifle? Logic would say it would affect impact point. Anyone use a springer with one. I made one where it sat on camping mat on top of a finger, mono pole and I didn't find it very stable, impact Point held the same. Are the bi pods better. Appresiate any feed back or just thoughts on subject.
