I am planning on using the stick primarily for sitting and shooting, in a varmint hunting situation. Should I got for the longer or shorter stick?

i have the shorter version, and it serves me well , the longer one did not closed down enough for my hunting style, lots of hiking and shooting down steep canyons, sit down and measure the height from the ground to your comfortable shooting position, that should give you an idea which one will work for you. but i do endorse this product

I would get the longer version unless you are going to be do a lot of hiking/packing with it. I've had other shooting sticks and this is the best one yet.

i think the shorter stick because you are sitting on a chair or stump, easier to carry around and adjust to your needs sitting.

This one goes short enough for me to sit down and shoot (I am only 5'4")as well as tall enough for standing.

the short one works fine in a little space and the big one will work just fine i have one of each and love to use them .

I would definitely go with the shorter one for sitting that is the one I have and it is perfect for sitting and kneeling. The other can work but kinda a pain because you have to spread legs out so far.
396714
if you're not planning on standing up and shooting I would go with the 18 by 38 tripod that's what I have you can use it from a setting to kneeling position I love it

The shorter stick works well sitting on the ground or in a chair. I have the long stick also.It works sitting in a chair or standing ,but not sitting on the ground. it will depend how you are the most comfortable. I prefer to sit on the ground or a chair when calling in predators.

providing you don`t plan to stand the shorter stick is ideal. I use mine for handgun hunting however the rifle works as well, but it would not work for any standing shots.

The tippman barrel is 8.5 inches in length..and by far is perfect..If you are looking to get a longer barrel..DONT!!... the 8.5 is great and is built to produce less arc and gives a more precise shot!!-EVERY TIME

OOPS: When I actually took it out of the package, I discovered that it could not be shortened, only lengthened. I am 5'4" and the pole top "as is" comes to under my arm pit. That is OK for me, but I assume that for someone 5', it would come to about the top of that person's shoulder. OLD INCORRECT ANSWER: I just purchased my second stick. The first one I gave to a relative. This one has an adjustable section. I actually haven't used it yet (I bought it for emergencies) but I was pleased to see the adjustability.

It is definitely not short and is just as long as any other mouse. You shouldn't have a problem with length.

I have the ABF 40 on a 6.5' ugly stick. Works great. An ABF 90 should do well on a 9' rod.

Bench rest or prone with a bipod is best for zeroing or long range. This is a good hunting tool for any rifle when you need to be better than "off hand". Works good in standing or sitting position. I'ld say 0 to 200 yds this works good. Better shooters may get better results.

It really depends on what you are using it for and how much you will use it. If you are looking for a novelty item I would go for the small one. If you will be utilizing this I would go with the big one. It is a quality product and you will be happy with it.

I believe it would be fine for hunting within a certain yardage. I personally wouldn't shoot at anything but paper from more than 100 just to be on the safe side of taking ethical shots. no magnification + not the sharpest dot make it a little hairy if your hunting anything but varmints. I'm not a great shooter though so your experience could lend more utility from the red dot world of sights

Personal choice on the AR-15, depends on the situation. I would want a true front rest and back rest if I were zeroing a gun. It would be good for the longer shots mountain hunting offers.

15 inch or longer if you want. I suggest the cheap aluminum ones for target practice just use the tips on them. If your going to use the bow to hunt then I guess I would use the expensive tips and arrows. I just use mine for target shooting unless your Bill Gates you'll go broke hawing the top of the line bolts and heads.

All depends on what you ae doing, for camping I like the smaller one. It is easier to pack.

I think this will rely on your personal preference. This stock is to short for me to shoot regularly, but perfect for getting down the skinny stairwell of my old farm house. This would be a perfect set up for youth or very slight-framed adults. Something I don't see mentioned in other answers is that the shorter LOP widens the sight picture on the gun, and lets you bring the muzzle onto target faster (less length to swing around). This actually took some time for me to adjust to when shooting multiple targets, I would arrive at the next target so much quicker I was over shooting it.

GH- I use a Wright and McGill "Magnum Plug" 10' 6", Medium Fast Action + Heavy Power for trolling and mooching Chinook, sliver and humpy salmon. I've even jigged for ling cod but it's not as efficient as a shorter, stouter glass rod. I'm able to back bounce for steelhead as well. However, it can be alot of pole length on a busy drift boat so I borrowed my sons Okuma Blu Diamond BD-C-762MLa 7' 6" and it proved challenging with a fish on in big volume water. I'm happy with the trade-off of having one rod for multiple uses as opposed to multiple rods. Both of my boys just started salmon fishing so I like the economy of these rods, hopefully they will be durable as well. Hope this info helps-ML

I believe it will depend on the length of arrow you order. The are available in 3 different lengths. My son has a shorter draw because he is a smaller person so the 26 inch works great. If you are a teen or young adult you most likely will be using a longer arrow because you have a stronger/longer draw and 30 inches would be okay. If you are hunting game a different bow is most likely in order....these are good for practice targets.

I purchased 2 because I need both just to get around. I had my son shorten both sticks and he informs me that he had to use some ingenuity and strength. Try to break the seal between the rubber tip and the varnish with a small probe being careful not to damage the tip. If all that fails, you can just cut the sticks to the desired length and purchase some new tips. The tips are pretty cheep.
