[QUOTE="memtb, post: 3062776, member: 75451"] Many years ago, I made 2 sets for wife and I. They’re made from 1/2” x48” fiberglass rod. The fiberglass in the rod is linear with the rod meaning …..no fiberglass “fuzz” with use or exposure to elements. They’re pretty stiff and can help as a walking sick, mostly aides in balance when navigating deadfall, or if crossing a snow covered rock field helping to find the gaps between rocks that can break/twist an ankle…though not as strong as real walking sticks. They are small in dia. making them easy to carry in hand as they are smaller and lighter than many hiking sticks, pretty darn stiff, and can be quickly deployed for making a shot…..particularly useful on downhill shooting. I put rubber, chair leg type covers on the base to protect the rod and give a larger footprint. Leather, surgical tubing, or other materials can be used to bind them together. They can make 400 + yard shots very easy in rough terrain! memtb [ATTACH type="full"]554830[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
