Title: D.I.Y. Shooting Sticks
Post by: CASH on February 09, 2013, 10:19:15 AM
Here's a video and pics on D.I.Y. shooting sticks.  This is my first video and it was done on my iPhone so please disregard the poor quality of the video and my poor video skills.

This one is pretty good.  I have seen some DIY sticks but this maybe the best I have seen. Only thing I would try is a pc of flexible clear tubing on the top of the poles.  It will offer the gun cradle but will keep the sticks from spreading to far.

I'd like to try that, however castrating bands aren't found here in the city.....and if ordered and had some delivered, I"m sure the law would come wondering what in the he11 I was doing.

You can find them at Tractor Supply or any feed store. If you can't, PM me your address, I bought a bag of 100. I have more than I'll ever use.

Made some of these last weekend. Two, five foot fiberglass electric fence rods for $4 a piece, cut to three feet. Bag of castrating rings was $2. Camo duct tape, digital pattern, $3 at Wally World. Self cling camo wrap for the top, which I already had. Inexpensive, easy to make, and versatile.
