Good one Boyd. It appears that ELR is comparing apples to oranges. If he had linked to a mono-pod or even shooting sticks he might have made a little sense. But nothing would excuse his rude response to a helpful idea from a fellow forum member.

I absolutely stand by my first post, first line. What is incorrect about a post regarding an article that provides virtually no useful info?

Keyboard brave??? What an AH!

Presumably the idea (given the article text) was to provide an idea for a simple, cheap solution. Unless you have access to a welding rig AND know how to use it, this particular implementation is not even an option.

I too build items of my own design. But if I was going to try to pass the idea along I’d sure share more than what was shown in this article.

I suggested a $20 alternative. Here is another $20 alternative – http://www.thunderboltcustoms.com/home

Looks a lot like what this fellow is using at the rifle end – without the bulky shaft. As in throw it in your coat pocket or pack and head out.

There is also rope around a couple of tree branches – shooting sticks.

Bottom line, plenty of inexpensive solutions. Just my “comment”.
