Looks like an excellently placed shot. But best to stick to gongs for longer stuff, don't forget that it's a deer and not just convenient long range targetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camokid Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Nice sticks camo, what are you using to join them? most use nut and bolts buit i think it looks rubbish plus they don't sit right ....i use 5mm think rubber orings and heat shrink the tops for the finish... it gives them loads of flex and silent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 5mm black elastic chord to lash the joints which I guess achieves the same thing. Nice and tight but it allows a little flex when you need it. Can you tell us what type of rubber rings they are and where you get them? I tried the 'o' rings from 40mm waste pipe fittings, they were ok but I preferred the elastic method.

snaggletooth Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hi Andy and welcome. Well done on the buck. I have to agree with you on the sticks, excellent job..... I've a set of homemade ones as well and on the ground I cover I find them much more useful than a bipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
