    Monopod vs Bipod vs Tripod

    Little test this afternoon with a mono, bi and tripod. A bit breezy so no surpringly the tripod won. The bipod was good and with practice would be ok. Easier to carry than the tripod. The mono actually felt worse than free-hand, swaying about in the wind! However I know it can work well from a sitting position which the others are too tall for. Which do you prefer?
  4. Sorry guys, i had a problem with photobucket and lost all the photos. i have most of them but i cant edit the original post so i have copy paste and added photos where i can. sorry about this. Been meaning to do this for a while, made a good number now and keep forgetting to take photos. These are very very easy to make and no reason to pay silly money for them. To make the sticks you will need 4 garden canes or even hazel sticks. Buy from the range. Only £1.80 each for the 2.1m lenghts 6 o'rings or lambs tail bands Bike inner tube 1.5" is the best size. Some sort of padding. 41mm textured heat shrink work for me. Length of paracord. Tools: Tape measure Pen/pencil Hacksaw File Glue Knife or scissor 10mm(ish) Dowel or rod For a measurement I always ask height from floor to tip of nose then add 2" as its easier than asking someone to measure to their eye. This measurement is total length of sticks. These are then sticks from The Range. £1.80 each. Make the stick length and cut. One stick is 1.5 " shorter. Clean the cut end with file. While your at it you cut the end plug off. A knife or hacksaw, just score around when the plug is and then tap plug out from inside with a dowel or rod. Glue and fit plugs back in to the clean fresh cuts. Take 4 of the o'rings and roll them down each of the canes. They are not needed but they do take the knocking and banging out the canes while stalking. Cut 4 lengths of inner tube. 3" or there about. Roll them up tightly. Easy way is pull 1 piece over two sticks and then roll back off. [/url ] This is the only hard bit. Take 2 sticks and on the bottom you need to pull on a rolled up band but with an o'ring in between. The o'ring is needed to stop the inner tube unrolling. The way I do is to take the end of string in the on the o'ring, then the inner tube and then back out the o'ring. Put innertube on to 1 stick then whilst holding the stick, pull on the 2 ends of string to stretch the inner tube and pull the o'ring over the tube, slide the other stick up between the o'ring and inner tube so the o'ring is sandwiched between the sticks but on the inner tube. Pull is 2" up sticks. Do this on the other 2 stick bottoms too. Next, to the tops. Stand sticks up, one on left and other on right. The right one needs to have the shorter stick nearest you. Take that stick and the near left stick and pull an inner tube band on 5". No o'ring needed on the top bands. Do the same for the two front sticks. Take the length of paracord and tie it around the front inner tube, this acts as the o'rings to stop the bands unrolling. Tie other end of core around back inner tube so when a rifle sits on top the vee's tuck up against the sling studs. All that's left is to cut and shrink the textured heat shrink on the tops. This helps protect your rifle stock. Finish and ready to use. Only other thing I do is a wrap of white tape on the top of the short stick. This help to find the right way round in the dark on fox and rabbits. Total cost is under £15 and only takes an hour to do. Hope this is of use to someone. All the beat Phil
  5. As I was closing up the back of my pick-up, my sticks got caught between the bed and the gate. They now have a 60 degree bend in them. As I was not to pleased with them anyway I'm not too bothered. But as I'm now in the market for new sticks - what would you recommend? Thanks,...
