I saw a product which was new to me - slingstix built in to a sling. I coulodnt open them up at the store, but I was wondering if anyone had bought these.It seems like a good idea, but might be one of those gimmicks things with isnt real practical in the field.
Please let me know - they appear to be the same as the Quake Claw sling I want to buy anyway for $25 and these are $45 with the stix built it.
Thanks!

The sling stix aren't bad. I have one. It takes some getting used to. I've found that you have to slide the stixs cover back up because the back of the cover has a rubberized coating that helps hold it in place on the stock. I got these as a gift and I am still debating on using them. As for recommending them - I would have to say no. A bi-pod is easier to use even though they are a bit heavier. And the bi-pod 'sticks' are more ridig than the ones on the sling stix which have a tendency to flex under the rifle's weight - especially from a front heavy muzzleloader.

I bought this sling just because I wanted to try it.
It works better than I thought it would, it is a little loud if you oen it up fast, but after 5 or 6 times of practicing, it dosent make hardly a sound when it comes out. It takes a little practice to get used to it, but now i like it as good or better than any bipod I have tried. It is much lighter than a bipod too.
Everytime I bring shooting sticks with me I forget them in the field, especially if I kake a shot, I get excited and begin my tracking and bringing alond my shooting sticks are never on my mind. I think this is a good product for and gun and for another $25 more than a normal sling, it seems like a good deal.
