Seen these in field sports britian.





Before i go making a pair has anyone used them? How do they compare to tripod or regular 2 pole sticks? Are they difficult to carry? etc

Cheers

They look good. You are basically carrying around the weight of 2 shooting sticks though.
Roy lupton also has a video on one of the episodes on how he made them if you didnt see it.

mr roy lupton has the luxury of getting out of his jeep, whispering to the camera for five minutes and then limping 10 0r 15 yards before 'spotting' a deer and having a shot. they look very bulky and i would imagine they're a bit noisy. check out moby30 he is alway's good for a set of bogpods.

Not very nice, but your right they do look rather bulky to be going around with I don't think you'ld be going very far.

Clivej put up a pic of a mod he made for his tripods. Works very well and easily done. It's in the Hints/tips section.Would probably work just as well.

Bought one similar in wildhunter in athlone a while ago. think i paid E38 for them. the second set of legs is half the length of full legs which are also adjustable twist lock. they're ok but can be awkward to get used to. a bit more practice me thinks ;-) have a look on wildhunter website. that's where i spotted them.if you're around the midland ill let you try mine out and see what you think. hope this helps. :-)

This makes for a very accurate setup. I could shoot out to 700y with them and hit a sheep torso size rock.
Full details in the Tips section

i wasn't trying to be mean. i really enjoy that show and Roy Lupton's stuff on hawks, ferrets, hpr's and foxing is great but i think that their deer shooting clips seem very staged. i'm drawing this conclusion from the pictures and stories that lads put up here, most of which contain a line 'the hike up' or the 'drag back down' was a killer. this is why i think these sticks are not practical they're okay for the type of shooting that they show on that show but that's about it.

I donno which sticks to make now.
Your sticks Clive look more stable, a tripod with a back rest. I'm just wondering is it difficult to adjust the hight and angle to get the cross hair on the target.
The double sticks can rock forward and back to adjust elevation but that would take away from the stability.
Guess I'll have to make both...
