Questions & Answers
So far, I've had no problems shooting my crossbow from this.
Although I do not hunt or shoot pistols, I see no reason why this wouldn't work.
Total compressed length is 29".
With this walking stick, I've walked through rough terrain. It also serves as a source of support for me when I'm walking uphill and downhill. This will come in handy. In addition, I used it to dispatch a snake! The stick does not bend or break in any way. It comes in handy when you're outside.

I've been hunting for most of my life, but I didn't realize how useful a shooting stick could be until recently. With the ability to raise and lower the upper half, this shooting stick exceeded all expectations, despite its gimmicky appearance. So far, I've used it on two deer hunts, with my crosshairs trained on a half-dozen bucks in case I wanted to shoot. It's very stable, and the gun's height can be adjusted easily (and silently - even when resting on the sticks). If you're raising the height, you may need some light assistance (see below). Consider a ski pole with two joints if you want to get a sense of how this stick feels. To be honest, it's not much heavier than a ski pole; I've scrambled around with it and it's held up fine; however, I don't see it lasting as a stout walking stick that you can put a lot of weight on if hiking over really uneven terrain with a pack, or if you're not sure-- footed. It's a shooting stick, not a walking stick, in reality. Simply because it's not a walking stick, I don't believe you'll be satisfied if you expect to lean all of your weight on it when stepping over a deep puddle or climbing over a log. br>br>As you'll see below, I made some changes to this stick to address some of the issues that have been raised in previous reviews: 1. br>br> The spring slide makes a lot of noise when you use it; it's thin metal on thin metal, and it makes a lot of noise. It will, without a doubt, make a scraping noise. Some reviewers claimed that the spring was the source of all the noise, but this is not the case. It's the metal-on-metal contact; mine did the same thing right out of the box, but I lubricated it with silicone lubricant (the kind used on car rubber gaskets). Problem solved, but I expect I'll have to reapply a few dabs every now and then to keep it quiet. There's no need to be concerned. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br According to several customer reviews, the gun rest piece is prone to unscrewing, which could result in its loss. Given how easily I could spin it when it arrived, I can definitely see this as a problem. It loosens because it's a double-ended screw that most likely requires more threads. I decided to use blue Loctite on the threads as a solution. After many miles of bushwhacking through some difficult terrain, the problem was solved, and it hasn't moved since. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. Because the lower section allegedly slid down (or rather, up into the middle tube section) under the weight of a gun, at least one person complained and gave it a one-star rating. The cam lock tightens with a few twists of the screw to prevent this from happening, as one of the item pictures clearly shows. This isn't even close to being complicated. It's a cam lock, as the name implies. They were created with the purpose of allowing tension adjustment. It's ridiculous to write a negative review because someone can't figure out how to turn a screw one or two times. br>br>In short, I made a few minor changes to address the obvious, common issues, but this doesn't bother me in the least. It has far surpassed my expectations thus far.
After reading reviews about another brand that claimed it couldn't support the weight of the rifle, I decided to purchase this one. This stick holds up well to the weight, and it's a great stick overall. After a long elk hunt, I only have two areas where I could improve. First and foremost, I would like it to be a bit taller. It was frequently used as a resting place for my binoculars. I'm only 5'10", so I had to bend down or spread my legs to see through the binoculars. The second issue is that the spring rattles inside the tube in which it is housed. I'll simply wrap it in something to insulate it from the noise, which is something the manufacturer should have considered. Despite the minor flaws, it is still the best hunting accessory I have purchased this year, and I would recommend it to anyone.
Mine was a shambles, but it could have been extended with ease. However, it would not be able to support the weight of a typical rifle or crossbow. It was just a natural movement of my arm, and it wanted to return to its original position. This could not possibly be used as a cane. This is what caught my eye. It was at this point that I extended it to the height at which I would rest a rifle on it. But it was just the weight of my arm hanging naturally from the monopod, with no firearm or bow to support it. It began to sag downward. The lock button was slid to the locked position. However, the push button appeared to be locked as a result of this. The monopod is not being prevented from reassembling. Every week, I waited for this to arrive via Amazon. When I called the company for product support, I was transferred from department to department four times before getting an automated message asking me to leave a voicemail. You, on the other hand, are well aware of who you were dealing with. Because I was reassigned to each department. They felt compelled to inform me that they were from the Allen Company.
At the very least, this was not advertised as a quiet location. Aluminum scrapes against itself during the telescoping action. It's a LOT of noise, especially when you see something and are ready to fire. You can't even lubricate it with the design unless you drill an access hole in the top to lubricate the inner surface of the largest tube. br>br>Aside from that, it appears to be sturdy and stable, but the sound flaw makes it a no-buy.
This is an amazing stick. There's a reason it's not the cheapest; it's because it's superior in terms of quality. I looked at a few other low-cost options and am glad I decided to spend the extra money on this one. It was noisy, and the mines were not running smoothly and quietly, according to several people.
Excellent value for money and excellent quality. The quality is on par with, if not better than, that of the competition. With this shooting stick, I was able to get a 300-yard shot on my deer. It was an excellent solution.
It's very relaxing. Useful. It's fantastic. It's very relaxing. When sliding via button, it makes a small noise, but it shouldn't be an issue.
Amazing shooting stick of excellent quality. I was pleasantly surprised by the high-grade aluminum and gas shock this device employs.
