Viper-Flex Shooting Sticks

I used the Viper Flex sticks on my last safari, they belonged to my PH. This was the first time I had seem them, and had the choice of these or of using a traditional set. I opted to try the Viper Flex, as they seemed to work well during the sighting in process (borrowed rifle as well).
It took me quite some time to get used to them. However, I wounded a couple animals, as I was nowhere near proficient enough with them. I was angry with myself for not knowing when to quit, and return to what I was used to.
So, yes they work very well, with the caveat that you practice, practice, practice with them first.

I had never used them before in my life before Namibia. Always used a tree, fence post or what was available. Adapted to them right from the first shot. If I needed a bit more stability the PH put light pressure on my upper back.
I found them great, I may as well have had a benchrest set up in the bush they were that good to ME.
Everyone is different tho and I appreciate the difference.

Where can one buy the new all carbon fiber "Pro" version of the Viper-Flex sticks in the USA? The only online retailer that seems to carry these in the US, https://www.hollandguns.com/, appears to not carry this version.

These are what I'm looking for:

Purchased mine from an outfit on eBay. Want to say they were out of England. It was an easy process and took about 3 weeks to get them in.
 
Viper flex are far more robust than 4 stable stix which personally I find flimsy and liable to break. We had to patch a set up last week where the top fitting cracked and separated from the pole. This happened on a hunt whilst trying to take a shot.
Luckily you were on hand with your Viperflexs to shoot the buck whilst I fiddled with my 4 Stable Six!!

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.
