Arrived Safely Peter, many thanks. I look forward to giving that a go. Chris

Hi Peter I do take your point about bolted sticks spreading too far when sitting but I did make mine specifically for standing, I appreciate that a banded stick is more adaptable so I would like to make up a set like yours so PM sent & thank you for the offer of a teat cup inner lining, I look forward to receiving it & will let you know how it goes. The end caps finally arrived & I think they finish my sticks off nicely. Chris

If you can't use a bipod because you shoot woodland area's as I do then they are very useful. Also useful in open ground if you need to stand for a shot. Chris

Came over all DIY the other day & decided to make myself a pair of stalking/shooting sticks. So off to Homebase & purchased two green plastic coated garden poles & promptly lopped 4 inches off the ends. Drilled through & fitted a nylon washer in-between them then fitted a nut & bolt with a dab of thread lock to stop the nut from un-screwing as I couldn’t find a Nylock nut to suit. Then fitted two Duplon hand grips & drilled through to fit a length of webbing from an old ratchet strap, two large headed pop rivets fixed the webbing to the poles. Then rum

This is my Tikka T3 Hunter Deluxe in .22-250 with a Kahles 3.5-10x50 Scope, T4 Moderator & Harris Bipod, great piece of kit & a fine calibre. Chris

Yep they are the ones Peter, I'll keep an eye on them. Chris

Hi Peter Thanks for the observations & I agree its a problem with the portable type metal seats to keep them secure hence the chain & padlock which was all I could think of at the time to give some semblance of security. I'll give some thought to removing the last section of ladder. As for the chain being loose, you can't see it on the photo but there is a broad strap with a tensioner running round the tree at the very top of the seat so it's quite secure against the trunk & there is another tensioned strap holding the ladder stabilser bar against the tree so no wobbles at

A couple of pics of the new high seat in place, minus the padded seat & armrests etc, i'll keep them at home! I only had to use 2 of the 3 ladder sections Chris

Hi all Our mixed Pheasant & Partridge shoot just north of Oxford requires two new members. We put down 300 Pheasant & 90 Partridge on each of two locations separated by 15 minutes & usually alternate which venue we start at. We shoot Saturdays & have 14 members from all walks of life & are a very friendly bunch. If anyone has any questions please ask away. Chris

Does anyone know of a club/range in Oxfordshire where I can zero & try out differant makes of ammunition for my .22-250? My permission area is very wooded & I would like somewhere to stretch the capabilities of the rifle. I think Otmoor range is the only fullbore one in the area but I don't know how to gain access. Chris

Always found these people to be pretty good price wise. Chris http://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/categories.asp?cat=12
