samboy Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hi gang. Picked up a walking stick with a Lurchers head in the gunshop £525. Put it down quicker than i picked it up. It was quite nice but i can't justify that sort of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen-H Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Basic sticks about £45 upwards something made of resin/made to order start around £125 upwards last time I enquired ended up with two lovely basic sticks for £90 via a Facebook shooting group chap based in Bolton *misread this ^^ refers to sticks for beating * apologies Edited July 21, 2022 by Stephen-H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 I like the custom made ones like GameKeeper 1960 makes. Not cheap but worth every penny and no where near the price in a gunshop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if Vinnie is on then lways a good laugh. It's a belting series. He does some fantastic sticks it's certainly a talent and skill.Vinnie doesn't do the countryside and shooting any harm.Only positives in my opinion.

yates Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 You have to view the sticks as works of art and the craftsmanship used to produce such desirable item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
