Want To Buy Safari Leather

Anyone got a design or a link to a design for either a tripod or a quad shooting stick?

There’s some bamboo around here just begging for a machete.

Thread 'Homemade Shooting Sticks For Under US$20'

Apr 4, 2020

Even though my first trip to Africa is probably not going to happen until 2023 or 2024, I'm working on compiling gear and practicing skills because it satisfies my lack of patience.

One of the easiest things seemed to be building shooting sticks to practice (as this has been probably the most common advice to work on before going).

And while the African Sporting Creations sticks look great and I'm sure are very high quality, one of the reasons I'm not going for a while is getting financially set. So I built a practice set for cheap. I can't take credit for this design. This design came...

Buy a set of Viperflex quad sticks. No shooting sticks with 3 points on the ground will have the stability of quad sticks.

This is so very true, use them as a bipod for fast and close engagements but then deploy the rear support to make shots out to 300m very straightforward. Oh and they dismantle to fit in your suitcase for travel

It’s easy and cheap to try.
Take four poles of head height - lots of folk use plastic coated garden canes about 1/2 in diameter. Join two together with strips of bicycle inner tube or something else that is flexible - physiotherapy resistance tubing (theraband) also works well. Repeat so that you have two separate standing height bipods.
Now bungee the legs of both sets of bipods together and you are finished. It is crude but this allows you to experiment with the quad sticks at home for negligible cost.
Shooting off them is easy, spread the legs to make a bipod and rest the fore-end on the front V. Then pull the rear V towards your body to rest the rear of the stock either in front of or behind the rear sling swivel. Lateral movement is via moving one of the feet on the ground. The proprietary sticks like viper flex make lateral adjustment much easier but the home made versions are great to try out the concept. The most important thing though is to get out and practice!

I received My boyt cartridge belt today and can say I'm truly impressed with it for the price.I think they will fit about anyone as I have a 32" waist and will need to add a bunch of holes and cut off several inches.

Agreed! Mine arrived too and I am impressed. Looking forward to putting some miles on it.
