My new DIY Shooting stick

[dithian]

I've been a bit gimpy lately as I'm recovering from a bad ankle sprain, which has meant clawing at the walls. I was on crutches for a few days, and one day I was looking askance at the infernal devices and it hit me: the perfect shooting stick! I've had a habit of buying up old aluminum canes, crutches and walkers at the local thrift store because I find the aluminum tubing to be useful on various projects, and I came up with the below design scabbing parts from a crutch and two different canes. Some adjustment was made to the holes on the crutch to make it a 90º turret. Sprayed on some sexy flat black paint and the thing works great!

Already used it to great success! One adjustment I'll be making is turning it from a quadrupod to a tripod for better stability. I need to cut two welds, do some bending, make a small weld, et voila!

It can adjust from table height to almost standing height (with a little stooping).

This may be a stupid question but do you have a string on your bow ?

Ha! Not stupid. I'm waiting for new limbs to arrive from Excalibur. One of the limb tips cracked.
