Traztaz Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Guys, I come seeking knowledge!! I set my rifle recently for the first time on some quad sticks, what a brilliant bit of kit!! I then proceeded to take each and every measurement of them to enable me to make some for myself. I missed a measurement though!! Doh!! My guess is each leg should be about 1.3cm x 1.3 cm is that about right? The next question is , what kind of wood to make them from and should I treat said wood with anything special? Thanks for any help in advance. Traztaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrob Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Yes - That's about right - I made mine out of beech - any hardwood would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traztaz Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Sorted, had a look about, found an old bit of bridal from Mrs Traz, a lump of hard wood, some nut and bolts , and got the table saw out. They seem fine, what do you guys think? Got the lad to model for me!! frontal He has just been away down the garden with his airgun on them......................hope he is not getting too attached!!

Gilberts1989 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Have a look for the video on field sports Britain of mark gilchrist showing you how to make a set. I've done a set and they are cracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow white Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Made mine from metal canes from bq and the top is made so it moves left and right with out picking up sticks so if target moves a couple of yards either way you can still shoot.pm if you want photos.

Bewsher500 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 i use the full length 1.8m ones allows for a wide base and still enable me to stand up normally (6'4") otherwise you find yourself crouching slightly tip: put your feet font and back and lean into the rear one for maximum stability (front leg slightly bent pushing weight onto rear creates a tripod effect with the stick legs This requires you to be upright like this: not like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
