Best Sticks for Tall Guys?

[Papa72]

Rifle’s ready, ammo loads are about finalized, and it’s cooling down a bit in SE Texas so time to practice the art of shooting off sticks. I’m 6’-5” so thought I would seek some expertise for stick recommendations before I waste money and time guessing, which is my usual method of acquisitions. Thanks!

I’m 6’2 if I ever stand up straight. The sticks I like the best are Rudolph shooting sticks-my ph in South Africa introduced my to them and I have really loved them. They don’t reduce very well for use when sitting but my shorter stature kids can shoot off them pretty well. Wrap them in soft camo tape (for noise reduction) and you are good to go

I’m 6’4”, the best sticks I have are the super tall ones i made myself. Most production sticks will have you scrunched down if you’re much more than 6’2”

@African Sporting Creations has a tall option for 6’2” “plus”. These are the best sticks. Simple and sturdy. Lifetime sticks

Another vote for Rudolph sticks. For the short guys, they don't go low enough.

6’5” here.

I made my own, but my PH had Primos Trigger sticks, and they were ok. They might be short if you like to stand up super straight. I like how quickly they deploy or stow away. However, I prefer the way the home mades cradle my hand and rifle as opposed to the trigger sticks holding just the forend.

If money were no object, I would seriously consider the African Sporting creations sticks.

I have the Bog Pod Adrenaline, I'm 6'6". Unless you make your own, none of the ones I know of will be tall enough unless you just don't spread the legs out as far as they'll go. I have learned to live with it, and it's just as stable with the legs 2 feet from each other at the ground as it is if they're further apart.

A tripod is a rest, not a shooting platform.

Definitely want to get the longest ones you can find, but I wouldn't get too caught up in finding really long ones. "Good enough" is good enough.

Great info and thanks. I do like the looks of those African Sporting Creations sticks.

I'm 6'4" and found that the Bog Pod works for me.

I think it was the other way around!

Do you happen to know if anyone imports these to North America? Canada would be great, but I'd settle for someone offering them in the U.S.

 

[R.M.C.]

I'd try 4 stable sticks if you can, they go way taller than I ever needed them to.
They're pretty similar to viper sticks

@Papa72
I'm the same height and used viper flex quad sticks in Namibia. They were just a fraction short but the stability was like having a benchrest in the bush. Couldn't fault them.

I'm 6'4" using successfully Jim Shockey Primos tripod shooting sticks. I would not change this for anything.
