Modifications to my shooting sticks

I have alway been afraid that that the wing nut and bolt would crack if I got them too tight on my 5/8s dowel rod shooting sticks. So last night, I took four casterating bands and stretched them over the tops of the dowels in place of the nut and bolt. They work great! I can't wait to try 'em out!

Shooting sticks

I made a new pair of shooting sticks out of some 5/8ths dowel rod. I candy-striped them and wrapped some electrical tape in the "V". I've taken them out a time or two now, they're proving their worth.



They are a nice compliment to my main pair, the old stand-by.



The nice thing about the older pair, being thicker, I can fold them out and have a really handy walking stick. But the new ones are nice because they're lighter and easier to grab with thick gloves on and carrying a butt-pad to sit on at your calling stand in the same hand.

You can make your own shooting sticks, bi-fur-pod, whatever you want to call 'em, by getting your instructions on Varmint Al's Hunting Site.
