Hi friends!
I recently made a pair of shooting sticks similar to these: http://www.prbullet.com/stix.htm
They're just a piece of old oak flooring, ripped in half. So two 36" 3/4" square pieces. They're bolted together about 5 inches from the top, and have nails with the heads snipped off inserted into the bottom to grab at the ground.
A few quick questions: When I am shooting from them, I understand that I should rest the forearm in the crotch that they create. Do I just let the forearm sit there? Do I apply hold onto it with my hand? Do I pull it downwards into the sticks? When I shoot, it should just take whatever little jump it takes, unimpeded, right? Any other thoughts about being effective with these? Any tips on using shooting sticks in general?
Thanks,
JOsh
