I also use Viper Flex, best investment I have ever made for deer and fox shooting fox from last night

Excellent footage. I just hope admin are watching….

Bushwear are fine and priced well (if you aren't abusing them), however as @caberslash states, they will fall apart.... mine are f**ked, covered in rivets, scapa tape and screws now. But I am loathe to buy another pair at the moment!

Yep - mine snapped the lower 6 inches off on day two - hence I am now a roving ambassador for B&Q! Fun to make, brilliant to shoot off and cheap as chips if you forget or lose them!

Would you mind sharing where you bought the tubing? I'm also keen to cut down on noise and whistling.

I got mine on eBay and shrunk it on with the wife’s hairdryer. Certainly reduces the ‘clatter’ sound.

Here we go again.......

Lots of info out here in the SD forums if you search - the thread below also running now is virtually identical.

Does the 5th leg fit directly onto the Blaser or did you have to modify?

Blaser carbon shooting sticks

You'd think for the not inconsiderable sum being asked for all these 'premium' grade sticks the manufacturers would put a little more in-the-field research into their development. Bits of sticky tape, cut down cycle inner tubes to fix problems that should have been engineered out at the factory...

A little bit of PVC tape to increase diameter, works a treat and light

I find that I need a tight but still sliding fit on the fifth leg to cater for elevation angle. I get the fifth leg foot out asap and fine tune the angle by sliding the top clamp up or down until I get the scope hairs on target. Its very quick and, using this on the Blaser sticks, means as well as panning I have control of the elevation too. I used a heat gun to "adjust" the Viper's clip tension. Works very well for me as you'll have seen from the photos. I always leave the leg on but guess I use it about 50% of the time - the remainder it remains clamped to one of the front legs.

I had to wrap the Blaser leg in a couple of turns of camo tape to make it work

If you look at my post 113 on here you can see from the different photos that the fifth leg is in different positions on the leg to which its is attached - "I used a heat gun to "adjust" the Viper's clip tension". This gives an elevation change capability as well as a panning function - works very well in practice for me (as per my post #30 above).

I have the Ferris II Carbon sticks from Mjoelner and rate them very highly. Light, quiet, stable......

did you buy anything off the recommendations? I know I’m slow off the mark but 4stablesticks do a cracking set of affordable quad sticks.
