Just made these, but instead of the driveway markers, I used the green plant stakes from the gardening section. Weight is about the same, they're steel core, green and come in long sizes so you can have a shooting stick for when you're standing (was really looking for a stick to use when slipping around looking for hogs).
Nice... :icon_thumright:
I used old arrows. Had a bit of trouble trying to figure out that bottom ring but got it. Thanks for the pics
I'm going to try to make one into a tri-pod tonight. I'll post pictures if I figure it out OK.
A tripod would be pretty easy.
Cut 1 stick shorter and use the system I show making the bottoms flush when done. Then just a take a matching long stick and repeat. The 3rd leg on the tripod is shorter so it does not interfere with the gun cradle.

That's what I was thinking of doing.
Thanks for the idea
Made some of these last weekend. Thanks for posting this!
Great post. I'm going to have to try this.
where are you getting the bands?
Farm and Fleet in my neck of the woods. But any store that has an agriculture section, they are castration bands. :begging:

Tractor supply has them if there's one in your area
tractor supply also has the fiberglass electric fence stakes. Thats what I used for my "sticks". I didn't use the cleaner and haven't had a problem.
Great idea I'll be making a set or two tonight. Thank you!
