gixer1 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Get two of the green plastic covered metal sticks from a garden centre, wrap a big elastic band round them both 6" from the top... Bob's yer mothers brother and Fanny's yer daddy's sister.... Gixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Hi Wrap a bit of 1"wide cycle inner tube so that it overlaps as you wind it round over the first 6", taping off at either end (electricians pvc tape) - this will prevent slipping/marring of the stock. A rubber vacuum drive belt twisted to figure eight and folded on itself is a snug fit over the two garden canes and will last far longer than alternatives. If you want a photo of the top end of the ones I use drop me a PM. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll not go far wrong with this. I used 2 lightweight brush shafts instead of the garden canes as I had a couple lying about. Does the business.

aister Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 i made my pair of sticks out of two bits of pitch pine 22mm x 15mm x 1660 and a gutter bolt set in flush and the end klinked so it cant work loose. works fine for me and it cost me all of nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisyboy Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I think if I made the wood ones I would add some foam or duck tape so it doesn't scratch the gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aister Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I think if I made the wood ones I would add some foam or duck tape so it doesn't scratch the gun i have always meant to put glazing rubber on mine, in fact i will do that right now, back in a mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 +1 for the garden canes, they are very light And the right colour, made mine a year ago and don't go out without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mereside Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 the best sticks you will ever come across are a set of fox banksticks they have a quick release tab on the pole so you can use them from laying down to standing in a seconds notice then all you need to do is drill them 150mm from the top and space them off and bolt them together or i make a machined spacer to fit exactly and two button screws at each end finish them nicely .a couple of legnths of 15mm foam and you will have a set of sticks for life .i find them more versitile than wooden ones because if you need to take a shot laying down or sat you can only use the wooden ones as a mono stick if they are bolted or roll the rubber down which takes longer to set up if you need pics i can put some up for you,atb wayne http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120778858672?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancy knocking some up. I use two sets the same as above but not joined together. I can see them being realy good, a project to try over the holls.
