shooting sticks

[gumpokc]

I used a wa;ling stick with a "Y" top and the two piece sticks when varmitting.

Either can work well, but the two piece are a little more flexbile in usage. (IE you can spread the sticks to raise and lower the support crotch).

I made mine, from two legs off of a video camcorder tripod that got bustedup. ( one of the old 20 lb VHS camcorder tripods).

Those legs are strong enough to do the job, some extendable/contractable themselves, and some bungee cord i had laying around.

They are not the prettiest, but they work fine.
I'd include a photo, but my nephew broke my digicam last weekend, and I havent replaced it yet.
