Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game who makes the best shooting sticks for hunting?

If your looking for a DIY project try making your own. I made a pair of out of 3/4" oak dowels. I used a flush mounted brass bolt as a pivot point and an old leather rifle sling as the cradle. I used brass screws to mount the leather and can adjust the length of the cradle using the different holes in the sling. I found some brass plumbing fixtures (some sort of nozzle fitting)at the hardware store that fit over the end of the dowels just perfect. Inside the ends I used Acraglass to secure bridge spikes as tips. I then cut the spikes off and sharped the tips so they won't slide out when using them on slick ground. I placed a leather strap near the tips to bind the sticks together so it could be used as a walking stick. The total length of the sticks is 48", just right for me to use as walking sticks.
