[takbok]

Absolutely spot on now!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Hoping to get some ready for May.

Thank you. I'm printing a set now for @Tim.243 with a wider V front yoke which you might like

Hello, Look forward to see your photos of finished Shooting Sticks

 

[takbok]

Here are the completed sticks ready for a friend to test.

950g configured for around 5ft10 height.

A couple of points for discussion or opinions on please:

1. Add a length of thin paracord to limit front/rear splay.

2. Front cradle is about 90mm inside dimension - do you want this to be wider?

3. I might add small magnets into the top and bottom bits to keep legs neatly bundled for carrying, but this adds complexity and some cost. Sticks are easy to carry as is.

Are you close to offering these kits for sale?

That’s brilliant, I’d definitely be interested in a set once you get going.
Top job!

Very neat idea!
Looking forward to kits being available to buy.
Will the V front, rather than flat front, be an option?

Thank you, yes there seems to be some interest in a V front cradle. I'm sending one to @Tim.243 to test next week.

@takbok I don't think magnets are required but a nice touch. On the bottom hinge could you add 10 to 20mm to allow for a rubber ferrel to be added if required?! Not only would they dampen noise on tracks but also add to the grip to the floor and reduce the chance of them slipping at the last moment before you take the shot!

Hello, Super job Maybe some Paracord between front and rear poles but am not a Stalker so only use 3 pole sticks, Will check on the front Yoke size, 90 mm Front Yoke would be ample, Slightly bigger than on my own Shooting sticks but that gives a more room for rifle stock , Your Yoke fitting on 2 pole sticks would be handy for shooting rabbits in the fields

Bottom hinge (& yokes) is TPU rubber, granted it is quite hard. I could make the hole go thru the hinge so that the stick can go through it and walking stick ferrule could be added below.

Hello, Any updates on your Quad sticks project ??

Printed a couple sets this weekend. I would like to to add a stop to the lower hinges to limit how far they open so will hopefully get a chance to do that later.

Sticks being put to good use by my first customer / field tester who gets out a bit more than I do.
