Stick Question

[iamdrglass 15]

Hello all, I have been looking at all of these sticks that you all are making. There is some very fine craftsman ship. Since I am from over across the pond I am not familiar with some of your terminology.

 

What is the purpose of the sticks? Are they used for just walking like our " canes " here in the US or are they a self defense weapon ?

 

Looks like a good time building them.

 

Thanks

Thank you all for clearing that up for me. I like the rifle rest idea. I use something similar for my self for a rest. I just need to build me a fancy one.

Post up some pictures when yo get it made. Ps spent 9 years in Maine as a youngster so can sympathize with the terminology thing.

Also used by beaters on shoots, when they need to clamber up a slippery bank, hit trees when they are trying to flush game birds from their hiding spots, or nudging through crops to try and make them fly towards the waiting guns!
