Shooting Sticks

[davedavedave 69]

Apologies if this video has been posted below but its a simple way of making your own shooting sticks:-

 

 

 

Therefore I went to B&Q today and got 2 x 1.8m garden stakes (£3.98):-

1m length of pipe insulation (£0.77) :-

I will use pipe insultation to protect my rifle instead of tape as its a pefect fit.

 

 

Tomorrow I will put it together with some old inner tube and away to go a set of shooting sticks for £4.75.

 

Ta,

Dave.

Hi Dave,the problem with the pipe insulation is that the sticks won't close for carrying.

Attached are pics of the finished article. Had a quick go with it last night using my Police Tech LED Lenser and bagged a nice bunny at 30 yards using the sticks sweet as a nut.

Hi Andy,

 

Thanks for the positive feedback. I am not looking to sell them as they are easy to make yourself. I just wanted to pass on a good idea I saw on You Tube on an excellent forum where other people share information I find useful.

Hi Mate,

 

Mine do actually close with an elastic band at the bottom but I perfer them open anyway as I can carry them on my shoulder when out on my own.

 

Cheers,

Dave.

i made something similair for free out of stuff in my shed

[stubby 175]

I think were a certain breed of people, lots of folk out there, see something they want and just go out and buy it, whatever the cost, myself and a few others by the look of this post, opt for the "can I make it myself" approach,

I needed a red filter recently, but rather pay £16 for the proper one, used an old wrong size filter, and a few minutes with the dremmel, its a good un,

 

heres my attempt at shooting sticks, slightly longer so they can be used standing, 2 x washing pole props from wilkinsons at £2.00 each, and a nut and bolt, as I did'nt have a spare inner tube, but by using the bolt and a spacer, it folds flat when carrying, yet if you need to use it, simply let go of one pole, and it swings into the open position

Hi Stubby,

 

Those look quality mate and as you say it’s much more satisfying (and cheaper) making your own stuff than buying.

 

Cheers,

well,I have to say, they are slightly cumbersome when carrying, so after watching the above clip, I'll be chopping them down a bit, as they are extending poles, Ill reduce them to around 4ft when closed, still giving me the option of making them higher for standing

They certainly look to close better than I thought mate.and the lagging will give good base for te rifle .
