Can't agree their H , I tried some a friend bought , some type of aircraft aluminium , fully adjustable and the lightest set of sticks I've ever used ..while the cane ones do the job they don't compare to a precision made set , that's why they cost a small fortune .

Yup. Honestly, make your own, £5 for twin sticks, tenner for quad sticks. There are plenty of guides on the internet, take your time and fettle them to suit you and believe me they are just as good. Aircraft aluminium? Super stable? BOLLOCKS. No matter how you slice it they are some tubes joined together at the top or the top and the bottom in the case of quad sticks. If spending £170 gives you the confidence and illusion that you are somehow more stable or whatever then great. It's worth the money. But its all in your head. Quote Link to post

Plastic garden sticks that were designed to grow runner beans up fettled together are as good as a purpose designed set of shooting sticks . ..Tel you what Bt , get your garden sticks , fettle them as much as you want , then come down to mine , have a day out stalking , use your sticks , try mine ..then come back and tell every one who's talking bollocks ...The garden sticks will work , so do the wooden ones , Seprim left the wooden ones he made , they work well , but the best ive tried are the purpose made ones ...note the word TRIED ... 2 Quote Link to post
Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Well Big Thug, we may not agree on the need to spend sacks of cash on what amounts to four poles, or two or whatever it is Sussex uses but if that is a genuine offer you have got yourself a free stalk and an opportunity to see for yourself. Can't say fairer than that. If I could work out how to do the emoticon of the bloke tipping his hat I would. Hats off Sussex. Quote Link to post

Lloyd90 509 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Genuine offer !! Wow, fair play pal if genuine that's a cracking offer. I'd be extremely great full to come out and you show me the ropes as I'm inexperienced and willing to learn. I'll send you a PM and hopefully we can sort something out. Quote Link to post
