The new Bipod and Tripod Fly’s Eye® Shooting Sticks from African Sporting Creations are engineered to deliver unmatched support with twice as many points of contact as traditional shooting sticks. The innovative pivoting head clamps onto the top sections of our two-piece aluminum connector which anchors the rear support arm. This new model offers best-in-class overall performance due to this intuitive rugged design; ability to change the point of impact to a material degree (50' at 100 yards) without repositioning the sticks; compactness when taken apart; light-weight; and quietness — all backed by the only unconditional lifetime warranty in the business. Like all of our other shooting sticks, these are hand-crafted, one-at-a-time, in our Ohio workshop and are the only product of its type made in the USA.

No expense was spared to build the best product possible!
* The pivot head utilizes an investment-grade aluminum casting sleeved with an indestructible polymer that fully encases the stainless steel pivot ball. The rear support arm can open up to 30 degrees and this creates a 20” span between the two points of contact. That length is ideal for double rifles, single shots and bolt actions.
* Two different versions of this pivot head were prototyped for extensive testing before we perfected it and filed our patent.
* The new one-piece suede leather bridge top does what ordinary two-piece circular tops cannot; it encircles most of your rifles’ fore end which permits you to lean into the sticks and flex the legs in the direction you want to shoot (see video) without your fore end coming out of them. To accomplish this you must keep some downward pressure on both the front rest and rear support arm. This flexing of the legs will allow you to move the point of impact either way a total of approximately 50’ at 100 yards to follow moving game without repositioning the legs. Please be careful not to over-flex the legs as they may lose purchase if you try to change the point of impact more than the amount referenced above without repositioning them. When you fold the sticks up to walk with them, the leather bridge top is held in place by the scissoring action of the two short wood portions at the top.
* If you do not have the extra few seconds to deploy the rear support arm, or are taking a close shot and do not need it, you can use them as traditional shooting sticks.
* When we tighten the larger screw on the pivot arm, it constricts the aluminum sleeve and the indestructible polymer that lines it to secure it to the top section of our two-piece connector. You do not need to adjust it and that one screw alone is enough to secure the pivot arm. However, we always like to over-engineer our products so in order to provide additional security, we have added a smaller black set screw that is sealed in place with Loctite® at the factory.
* The rear support arm “V” is designed to go behind the pistol grip of the rifle. Do not put it directly behind the trigger guard as they are not designed to be used from that position.
* When in use, the spread between the bottom legs on the ground is 3’-4’ depending on whether you are on the shorter or taller end of the height distribution for the size you purchase. This spread is required to allow the rear support arm “V” to spread out far enough to securely hold the rifle stock behind the pistol grip.
* We orient the support arm differently for left and right-handed shooters; please ensure you select your preference when placing your order.
