Rick Young Outdoors Steady Stix

Steady Stix, a new take on the classic tent-pole-type shooting sticks, goes beyond firearm support, thanks to a patented head platform that gives its user a solid base to support hands and binoculars, too.

When it is time to shoot, simply swivel the heads out of their support position to make use of the rubber-covered aluminum V-cradle. Rubber bumpers at each mating segment reduce noise, and rugged shock cord and stainless-steel fasteners within the Stix ensure long life and rapid deployment.

Measuring 40" tall when deployed, Steady Stix triple as an emergency support/trekking pole. The included nylon holster forms a pocket so that the Stix have an anchor point to support binos or rifles.

A smaller and more compact bipod, Stubby Stix ($30) is also available. Offered colors are Carbon Gray and Sunset Orange.

MSRP is $80. For more information, visit rickyoungoutdoors.com.
