This new item came about as a result of a very favorable review Jim Carmichel, the Shooting Editor of Outdoor Life Magazine, recently did on our three legged African Shooting Sticks.  He said and I quote, “The best sticks I’ve seen and used are made here in the USA by Sporting Wood Creations”. While he (and many other Gun Editors) has sung the praises of our three legged African shooting sticks, he asked us to come up with something for those who are used to, or prefer shooting off a bi-pod.  We responded to his request with our new take-down bi-pod shooting sticks that incorporate the same innovative features, attention to detail and custom craftsmanship that have made our African Shooting Sticks such a perennial favorite.   

Our new bi-pod shooting sticks are designed to fit into any airline approved gun case.  These are the most rigid, quiet and functional bi-pod shooting sticks on the market.  Our customers tell us they like the rigidity of them which allows them to lean into the shot, how the noise suppression bumpers eliminate the “dinner bell” noise made by the legs of all-aluminum models clanking together and how the hardened steel points on the bottom anchor them securely in place.

The heart of all of our take-down models is our patent pending, two piece aluminum take-down connector designed by a specialty fittings engineer who has over twenty five years of experience.  This connector features three points of contact for tremendous strength.  Putting them together is fast and easy as they screw together by hand without any tools in just a few minutes.  The connector incorporates a rubber gasket that compresses with the last half-turn to prevent them from vibrating loose when you are out in the field.

Each connector is precision milled from a solid piece of high strength, light weight Aluminum bar stock and is then sand blasted to a non-reflective, matte finish.  The seam between the connector pieces would almost be impossible to feel if we did not put a small micro-bevel on the two (otherwise sharp) edges that are exposed when the sticks are taken apart.

The outside diameter of the connectors is the same as the domestic and exotic hardwood shafts to provide a uniform thickness from top to bottom. We hand sand every shaft and then apply two coats of satin gloss marine quality polyurethane to them to protect them from the elements.  We turn the last 4 inches of the wooden shafts down to a ½” so they fit inside the connectors and use a hydraulic press that generates over four hundred pounds of pressure to permanently compress the shafts into the connectors. 

The Gold and Platinum versions come complete with a high quality, heavy duty Red Oxx Carrying Case in their signature safari green color.  The case is adorned with our eye catching logo and web-site address. This very durable case is designed to keep your shooting sticks from coming into contact with your rifle during air transportation.  This case would sell for over $40 if sold separately which makes the Gold version a better value than the Silver version.

We offer three grades that while constructed exactly alike, utilize different tops and woods and may or may not include the Red Oxx carrying case.

They measure 65 ” when assembled and the longest section is 37” when taken apart.  Unscrew them and you can use the top section alone for shots from the kneeling or sitting position.    Each set comes with two extra large screws with oversized, hexagonal heads that you can hand-screw into the top part of the connector to keep the cavity and threads free of dirt and debris. If you need to clean the cavity out, use a .375 or .416 bore brush. This provides you with two complete sets you can hunt year-round with.

We hope you enjoy using them as much as we enjoy making them.  You can take these with you anywhere so you can practice with them before your trip and relive the excitement of the hunt long after you return home.  Order your set today.
