my shootticks.

I wanted to post some pictures of my shooting sticks. I made them out of hard wood dowels. First I drilled out the ends and put arrow inserts into the ends and used JB weld to glue them in. Then for the feet I used screw in archery field points, either the big hard plastic “rubber” type or I can use the pointed metal tips. Depending on what I am doing I can change them.
I finished the wood and sealed it to keep out the moisture. Then I drilled the top and added gun sling swivel studs. Then I made a leather strap with a set of uncle mikes sling swivels. This gives me a leather spot to lay my gun in and it won’t allow the sticks to be over spread. I also use the strap to attach it to my back pack.
Last I added mole skin to quiet the sticks down. I have not hunted with them yet but I have used them for shooting practice. They are just under 4’ long. Ron

I made these for my son just in case he can't get a solid rest. Last year we had a couple of times where he neede a rest but the brush and grass was too high. Ron
