i made a pair of shooting sticks for $1.95.go to a place like home depot and find the wooden dowl section.mine are 7/16 inch hard wood.look at them carefully and make sure there is no knots in them and they are straight with nice straight grain.these come in 4 foot or better lenghts,once your home,grind a point on one end of each stick then find two stout rubber bands(castration bands are good)rap them around the two sticks so there tight.now slide them down around 6 inches from the top.figure out how much you need to trim off.you want them short enough to shoot from a sitting position but yet long to shoot from one knee.or trim them so you can shoot from the prone position or sitting.i trimmed mine to 39 inches.i also have a harris by pod on for when i want to shoot from the prone position.after you have trimmed to length and ground the points slide the rubber bands off and spay camo paint(or any flat black,brown or green paint)then take a rag and wipe off the excess paint.they don't need to look pritty you just want to darken them.you can also use old alumanum arrows for this to.for me an arrow was to short.these wooden dowls are light and don't make alot of noise when brushed against weeds and brush but the best part is there dirt cheap.
