Jim’s (African Sporting Creations) sticks are great. I’ve purchased two sets. I’ve also gone to Home Depot and purchased wooden dowels and made my own. Jim’s are hands down better (smaller diameter, break down etc) and the wood has character.
I stated in my initial post on this subject that I used 1/2" hardwood dowel rod. That was incorrect I used 5/8" hardwood dowel. I made them in 2015, obviously I'd forgotten some of the details, please forgive me. LOL It would probably be a good idea to seal the dowel rods to prevent them from absorbing moisture and swelling.
I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….
I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
