You can wear out a shooting bench for the ultimate center-fire accuracy. You can burn the heart from your crossbow target in search of the ultimate shot. But the greatest accuracy assist for a hunter is a solid rest. If you watch African hunting shows on television, you’ll see hunters shooting from sticks, often just a tripod of stout saplings that give the shooter a rest shot. That concept is just catching on in the U.S., but once you try it, you’ll quickly see the difference it makes.

The Primos Trigger Stick comes in a variety of models from tripods, to monopods, to those designed for treestand use. These sticks are far superior to other brands because you can easily set the height and level of the rest with the squeeze of your hand. They immediately adapt for the position you want to shoot from, providing a solid support for every shot. Additionally, the taller model make a great rest for extensive glassing. I recently hunted with the Gen 2 Trigger Sticks and found them amazingly easy to use and a must for the long-range shooting required for Great Plains hunting. The tripod model also doubles as a camera tripod, eliminating another piece of gear to carry. To see the full line of Trigger Sticks, visit primos.com.
