palombier Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hi I wouldn't touch the stoneypoint ones I bought some recently used them a couple of times and now they won't extend properly. Overpriced rubbish imo. Now use garden canes;much better. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchangun Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I have a set of BOG PODs - they are at the expensive end of the scale but as I shoot deer off the once or twice a week I get my moneys worth. They are rock solid and are miles better than any other thing I have shot off. They differ from most tripod set ups as all the legs join on a fitting and the gun sitts on a pivoting v shaped rest which makes them real steady . My pal shoots foxes off them a serrious ranges 300+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cushat Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Foxes at 300yards off sticks?? S'pose that'll be with a .17 as well Best thing to do is go down your local garden centre and pick up some garden stakes/canes - not the bamboo ones, most places do green plastic coated metal ones for about £2 each - very light and easy to make a bipod with a bit of inner tube to connect them, or buy four and make a quadpod for very secure shooting platform - see here: http://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/foru...opic.php?t=6530 I still wouldn't shoot a fox off one at 300 yards though.

Dunkield Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Buy Bushsticks for about 25 quid and loctite the screw. Don't buy beanpoles, they don't telescope down so are a pain to put in the car and useless for sitting/kneeling shots. Here you go: http://bushwear.co.uk/nostyles.php?Product...&ClassID=46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on my 3rd set as i keep leaving them behind after i've been stalking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salop Matt Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 As above my sticks are a pair of these green plastic coated aluminium poles with some gray foam pipe insulation on the tops. Cost me all of £5. Shropshire lad on her also does the same but uses 2 pairs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
