Shooting Sticks....Need reccommendation

[Robertesq1]

Any comments from the brain trust here regarding shooting sticks...brand, types or reccommendations?? Thanks in advance.

I've got a Harris bipod on my predator rifle I really like. I don't know if they make shooting sticks or not. I think Stoney Point and Shooter's ridge make them, but I haven't used them so I can't say much about them.

I've been using a set of the Stoney Point sticks. The ones that have tubular aluminum sections that fit together with internal shock cord. I find them useful. They do the job. They go together very easily and quietly. I'm sure they aren't as steady as an attached bi-pod, but I like them because they add flexibility. I mostly got them for my son when he started hunting; he had a hard time seeing over grass/etc. from prone, so the sticks let him shoot more solidly from sitting or kneeling. My .02$

I've got a set of Stoney Point 'Steady Stix II' w/the belt pouch. They extend to 39", fold up to 14", very lightweight and do a great job of steadying things for the shot.

I use the Criggster stix. What, never heard of them? That's because I made them myself. LOL I took some 30" oak dowel rods 3/8" in diameter sharpened the ends, drilled a hole in each one; the same distance from the top (about 3.5" down), inserted a key bolt, and tightened with a wing nut. They fold together nicely if you don't tighten them too much.

All of the supplies cost about $10.00. Be sure not to drill a large hole in the sticks, as this will cause them to break. Also, use oak instead of softer wood; the first set I made were from popular, and they broke after a year of use. These homemade stix work pretty good; they are just a little akward to carry around.

I have to agree with the north texan.....harris bi-pods on my rifles. They attach to the rifle....fold down and are light weight

[mrlizzzard]

Criggster has the right idea,cept someone here used fiberglass driveway markers and said they flex just enough to be better than dowels.

Right on guys , i made mine out of two old grafite fishing rods i got at a yard sale for $ 1.00 each. They work just fine.
