stoney point monopod

[HHI-7420]

There has been a lot of talk in the past about shooting sticks. Well, I think I've found the answer. Swore I'd never spend that kind of $ for sticks but after planning this, I did in a big way. I was in Cabelas in Minn. recently and checked out Stoney Point's monopods and tripod extension(about a foot long). Bought the short monopod and the extension(and attached same to monopod). Liked it so well that I went back, bought another extension and the expedition version(extends to 68") of the monopod. Now I can have a rest(adjustable) when sitting on the ground(which I always do), in a chair or when standing or walking. It works great with the heavier TCs but will also work with a revolver. If you're lucky you may find one of the plastic locking clips laying around. Check it out-its worth your time believe me.  Pat

Pat - I use my Stoney Point monopod all the time. I have the V-yoke on top and it works well as a walking stick or a rest for my Contender. I haven't added the leg extensions you mentioned but I do try to find a lateral brace such as a tree. How does it work as a walking stick with all those extensions attached? Do they get in the way?

Pat,

I've been using the Stoney Point Bipod and Tripod http://www.stoneypoint.com/convertapod_index.html sticks for about 2 years now.

I first started out with the Bipod and after about 6 months bot the additional "stuff" to get it to a tripod system. Now, I must use a walking stick just to get around and this stick is strong enough to hold me up (215lbs) in all kinds of situations, up hills, down hills, thru the mud, small creeks ect. I find it to be a quality product and worth the price.

I fold it up to walk with and then use the tripod for holdin my shotgun in turkey season. If it's deer season, I just use the monopod. When I hunt varmits, I usually set up with the tripod.

Dave.

I wouldn't think of deer hunting with my contender handgun without taking my polecat monopod.
