Homemade Shooting Poles & Two Ferals

[Stuart1985 256]

Evening

I seem a few posts about making a set of shooting sticks with garden stakes and pipe foam.

Got the materials and after 10mins messing about I had a great shooting aid for less than £5.

Took them out to the disused store to see if I take a few feral pigeons.

Took two pigeons one with a great head shot and another with a heart and lung shot.





Going to take them out this Friday for my second visit of rabbit control.

Cheers

Stuart

Bike inner tube bud, cut a 1cm ring and double it over. Makes a very strong rubber band that won't snap

Good shooting, bargain at a fiver

Mate are you placing the rifle straight onto the foam or still using your hand between the foam and rifle? Would of thought placing it directly into the foam would of been bad for a recoiling rifle?

Nope it goes onto the foam and works a treated, I tried shooting at bottle tops and was shooting them at 35yrs bang on ( once I got the hang of them!

I've got a set for shooting from the sitting position and a bipod for prone shots. Both work an absolute treat.

Wow in that case I'm going to have to make some for pigeon decoying when sat up waiting for them to land. Cheers stu

I think if it was straight on to wood would have a impact but the foam acts as a buffer can't complain for £5 eh.

 

Gonna try them out Friday at the rabbits

just carefully drill it and put a nut and bolt through works well
