Building your own shooting sticks

[death-from-above]

Anyone ever made their own shooting sticks ? If so , any pointers ? I want to make a set of African style shooting sticks. Thanks.

I personally like my bamboo shooting sticks, very light weight.:thumb:

Here is another thread on the subject: http://www.africahunting.com/hunting-equipment-gear-optics/634-build-your-own-tripod-shooting-sticks.html

Yes, I did build them myself. The thread Jerome provided is very informative as well. You can make the dang things to suite your own personal needs. Mine are about 5 to 6 inches taller than me, and you can spread them out to adjust to almost any terrain.



Like I said the bamboo was cut at approx 6ft. 6 in. and the wrapping is Hemp rope, some super glue, and some electrical tape and " Viola " shooting sticks.

There's an app for that. Well, not exactly an app, but there is a YouTube video.

wouldn't dream of bringing this one buddy. That rifle was the first grabbed from the safe, and has never assaulted anyone. It's no different than a Browning BAR, just cosmetics. I only backed up G.I.Joe from the brush mate, honors to the foot soldiers....

it certainly is cosmetically sending out a dont !@#K with me message , bro
