Yours are nicer than the sticks I have. I've been looking at those for awhile. That's the problem when you like to fish, hunt, and 4wheel. It all costs money!
You are so right ,that's probably why I have the trigger sticks I have expensive taste but cannot afford the top notch gear. but I don't like cheap stuff either and find something middle of the road that works for me
I LOVE mine!!! Also use it with a binocular attachment for glassing, works VERY well...
You mean one of these LOL
And then making the system even better is the phone scope attachment you have more zoom on your phone and you don't get the eyestrain and it's just plain easier to view. So you might not even need a heavy high power spotting scope

It's another case of right tool for the job. Different terrain requires different tools. Different parts of different states. If I hunt the desert south of my house my bipod is worthless with a sea of truck size sagebrush. But one hour north and I'm shooting timbered ridge to ridge and use that bipod often. The Spartan has definitely made me feel better about it only weighing a few ounces and staying off the rifle till needed. I agree the newer tripods with arca heads have been replacing the need for my bipod most of the time and switching from outdoorsmans stud binoc to tripod to gun this year has been super fun and easy transitions. Find it with your binocs, confirm you wanna shoot it with your spotter, and slide in your rifle and sometimes you wouldn't even need to move the tripod! It's been a joy to use and light enough to take into the backcountry even.

That's y I use the javelin. It's In my pocket or in my pack if I need it. Super light too.View attachment 299359I'm always about "better to have and not need, than to need and not have", but I found a bipod on my hunting rig is useless FOR ME. Laying prone in the field is about like kissing your cousin. Yeah, the idea might might be tempting, but it still ain't right.I'll leave prone to the range/target shooting.
So, the shooting stick and field chair is where its at. Gonna start training for this style, along with standing shots, and reconfirm zeros.

You have the wrong one. Try using the Hatch Outwest bipod you can shoot from sitting or kneeling or prone. Also have you looked at tripodsView attachment 299359I'm always about "better to have and not need, than to need and not have", but I found a bipod on my hunting rig is useless FOR ME.
