made these loosely based on the bi fur pod . need to get something to pad the rest so it dose not scratch my guns . i hope to try it out on my brother in laws dad horse farm , they have a wood chuck problem nearly every year . we went last year when we had a family get together but we did not get any thing . already tried them out with a pellet rifle and the are really steady . siting with the gun rested on the sticks i could hit targets i had trouble shooting off hand , every time . i did not think they would help that much , but they are awesome .

Hey thats a cool design, good job! Shooting sticks are a HUGE help in the field. I love mine. That design you use is a very well thought of one, just ask some people on this site, Plain Old Bill especially.

I built a set of shooting stix from aluminum arrows and an 8" chunck of 3/8" gas line. Take the gas line to your local archery shop and get the right sized arrows that it fits snug over the shaft. Glue in the threaded insert on each end. Use field points on the bottom. Now take the gas line and cut a half moon in the side at 3-1/4" from each end. I used a 3/4" gasket punch. Then slid the gas line over the end of the arrows. The gas line makes a nice padded cradle and allows you to adjust the stix to any hieght. The field points dig in and keep the stix from sliding. The weigh almost nothing and I carry them slid thru my pants belt loop on my side.






The arrows I got were full lenght that had not been cut. Seems like they are 36-38" long. I had plans of useing another arrow and an all thread rod to extend the height to a standing set. But never got around to it. I figured I would lock tight a short piece of rod in the extensions and have field points in the bottom. So when needed just unscrew the field points of the stix and screw in the extensions in.

What's the spoon for??

Looks like spoon on the stixs.

its a clip for your belt makes it easier to take along.

IC, cool idea!!
