I made a set of sticks out of two old golf clubs. bolted together painted tan, they work petty good the rubber handles stick the gun in a way so no slipping. ends stay in the ground good too. they are a little short so I made another set out of some old carbon arrows I had. lashed them together with a knot( that I don't know how to spell). left the field tips in. haven't used these yet but they are really light.
