Recommendations for shooting sticks?

[Dolch]

I'm looking at and elk hunt and possible an Africa hunt in the next couple years.

Anyone care to share their recommendations and experiences with shooting sticks.

Figure something light enough to hike with, and with a design thats not going to be a problem when i need it to perform.

Planning to get some and start practicing shooting off sticks.

I have had this one for about a year, but have only used it twice. So far, so good, but it's not as heavy duty as a Primo, it's probably lighter. I can use my pack to shoot on, but I find this style easy to adjust as it uses one button to move it up/down, and it's quiet enough. I often use this with one walking stick, which I keep in my pack. I find bipods, and especially tripods to be a bit clumsy for me to carry.

If I go to Africa, that's gonna be the job of my PH, don't they typically carry shooting sticks?

EDIT: these Amazon pukes keep adding a tag onto the URL, I have removed it three times and it keeps coming back. I don't think it's harmful, but I don't like it when vendors add tracking or tags onto the URL, slap Bezos. I am NOT an Amazon Associate, but maybe Len Backus is.

Here's the Primos version, it says lightweight, but it weighs a pound. (.52 kilo)

I like the Primos trigger stick. I have used the bipod and tripod both. I prefer the bipod.

I think they're a bit stronger than the one I have, although I'm not sure either would take a stiff fall on them.

I think my walking sticks are stronger. I was thinking to get one of those doo-hickeys that allow you to connect and use them as shooting sticks, but decided the monopod style is simpler to use. The monopod straps to the pack frame inside the flap for me.

How about trekking poles with the Wiser attachment. I have these and really like it.
