Default RE: Home made shooting sticks

I made a pair out of two oak dowel rods. Make sure you get oak; it will last much longer. I purchased some 5/8" dowel rods, 3/8" bolt, black washer, and wing nut. I drilled a hole 3 1/2" from one end of both rods inserted the bolt through one rod inserted the washer then threaded the rest of the bolt through the second rod. Tighten it down with the wing nut. I then used black electrical tape to tape the portion of the rods above the bolt, and a few places down the rod to reduce noise. Finally, I sharpened the ends of the rods to stick into the ground. It works darn good and cost about $10! The only downside is the length of the rods. They can be combersome at times.
