kip270 Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 These are made from modern tent poles from a camping shop today The long one's are 2ft and the short ones 11". The long one's are ideal if sat waitng for a Fox/Deer, while the shorter one's are for prone shooting. Total cost £8.99 and i have another five lenght's of pole for more sticks if needed The idea came from stoney point steady stix, but they are about £30 a set While mine were about £1.50 a set :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff there Kip. Can you get them long enough for standing ? Browning, maybe the thicker ones would be better for longer sticks, as the thinner ones have a bit of give in them when in three sections. Hope this helps Look pretty good to me, cant grumble at the price...well im sure markbivvy will What have you used to join them looks like bungee or something. I bought some camping rubber bands as well as the sticks. I used one on the longer one, but the short one i used the elastic bands that came with the sticks to join them for the original use of tent poles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
