Double shooting sticks

ssl

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:o, 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.

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...

Those rest are way to expensive.
The tri-sticks are only £35 ish off E-bay and a couple more euro for the fishing rest.

The fishing rest is adjustable up and down and the rifle is stabilised. OK it take's a little time to set-up 30 seconds or so but when in the aim it's very good. I found that if you set the tri-sticks up for a kneeling position was the best way and you can extend them to a standing position quick enough.

I had that rest clive and I didn't like it ,it actually broke,that's why I shelled out for the bog pod ,it is a job for life though,high quality manufacturing.

staghunter

those double sticks are a great job lads had an english lad out stalking with me last year and he had a set.way quicker to set up than a tripod they just fall into place when you open them and as steady as on a bench id have them any day before any of the other sticks

Ya I bough a set, fantastic, aircraft aluminium very light and steady

Hello SSL, what distance do you want to shoot at? If under 200mtrs, imo a pair of hazel sticks held with the teat cup from a milking machine is fine. You can stand,kneel or sit as you please,just by sliding the cup down along the sticks. If you lose or break them,they are easy to replace and wont break the bank.

rabbit assassin

I made a pair when I first saw the video a good while back. Only ever used them once.. I find them quite awkward unless you have the time to stop for a good 10-15 secs and set them right. They would be ideal for long grass or for shots in a field with dips and rises.

Chiparus

I have started to use a single stick, easier to use and quicker to set up than doubles. Shooting a deer the other evening, 142 mtr. standing , very effective and easier to carry than double sticks.

4200fps

This is much handier and more mobile. Less things you've to carry the better IMO http://www.alanrhone.com/194.html
They are £65 which not too bad.

Limulus

Roy lupton uses quad sticks
Take a look at mine at
Quadsticks.yolasite.com

I'm looking for a distributor in Ireland

Mine close into one sturdy walking staff and can be easily opened one handed without loosing too many fingers

All the best

Fantastic very steady sitting/kneeling/standing shots, a little more akward to carry than a Bi-pod but I have no issues with them

Correct

I now use the double quad sticks out stalking. They are only 1m long that I will use kneeling. Handy to use as a pole as well.

I made up a set there really solid but a bit slow to get up, almost as steady as prone and bipod. And if ur carrying 2 4 is no different
