Viper-Flex shooting poles explained: four models, one system
Anyone who has ever shot with a Viper-Flex will immediately understand why these shooting sticks have built up such a reputation. Stability, speed and flexibility come together here in one well-thought-out system. Whether you’re hunting standing up, kneeling or shooting lying down — Viper-Flex offers a solution that adapts to your way of hunting.
What makes Viper-Flex unique is its modular design. With simple movements, you can transform the stick from two-legged to four-legged or even five-legged. This makes it not only ideal for standing shooting, but also perfect for sitting or lying positions. In addition, it can also be used to stably support binoculars during observation. In almost any hunting situation, Viper-Flex offers maximum control.
Below you will find an overview of the four most important models.
1. Viper-Flex Styx Elite+
