i currently have a Harris bipod that extends and also has a canterlever for unlevel ground, its about £ and its worht every penny mate, when your stood lamping from the rear of a pick up truck they really come in to their own. And if you are gong to ambush quarry and can lay or sit some where again they are amazing, as the legs are extendable depending how high or low you want them.

As for shooting sticks, all i have is two long garden canes (the ones that are tubular steel coated in green plastic from home base) have i have drilled / bolted them together about 4 inches from the top. One little adjustment i made to them is putting an extra long bolt through so that you can have a finger rest which i really like. And they only cost me £5 to make, i can head shoot rabbits off them at 75 yards with ease.

 

i did have some pics of the sticks i made but cant seem to find them im afraid.

cheers langourroux i use a bipod off the bonnet of the motor but when standing i have to rest on a post or tree only have to do this when i use a moderator and most times i feel awkward doing this so sticks seem as if they could help .DIY SOUNDS GOOD TO ME in my opinion the sticks i have looked at don't offer value for money so if anybody has bought sticks and think they are a good buy lets know.

we use garden canes , approx 5ft long, with a vacume belt across them. You can adjustthe belt by rolling it up or down to where ever you wish, good for walking with also.

as stated but I use the knobbly green plastic coated canes with a bit of bungee tied around.... good for sitting and standing. Plus a bit of foam around the lower end stops them 'clacking' together at the vital moment as spooking the quarry

 

useful link here for making a 'quadpod' too:

I've been thinking about using a camera tripod. Too heavy to carry round on a mooch but if you're setting up a hide for long range shots I reckon you could modify one to take a rifle. Get together with your gunsmith, design a rack to hold the gun where the camera would be. Then you could tighten the thing up to hold the gun steady and when you spot your quarry loosen the locking bolts and the gun should have free movement.

 

Sniper not a stalker!

I have a Harris L I think, extendable, and side-to-side swivel.

 

Love it to bits.

 

I'm too clumsy to stalk, so just stick my arse in a hedge with the rifle sat on the bipod pointing down the hedge line. Utterly rock solid and stable.

 

Get one.
