We have added Shorties to our line-up in response to dozens of requests from varmint hunters who wanted a short set to use while shooting from the prone position. When these hunters were doing spot and stalk hunting of groundhogs or prairie dogs, the metal rests that attached to the bottom of their heavy varmint rifles dug into their backs when using a sling. They wanted a stable, light-weight model that would fit in their back pocket.
Product Overview & Details
Shorties measure approximately 15” overall and the “V” where you rest your rifle are shorter than on our other shooting stick models so you can place/remove your rifle easier from them in the prone position. Hickory versions come with unpadded plastic tops to protect your rifle and exotic wood versions come with padded foam tops. Both include a heavy-duty green canvas carrying case with our eye-catching logo embroidered on it. Since resting your rifle barrel against anything while shooting can degrade accuracy, these tops are meant to support the fore end and thus do not have to be heat resistant.
In our Silver Grade, we offer kiln-dried Hickory which is the same species they use to make axe handles. It is a very tough and bend resistant wood. We rub a dark brown poly stain on it to make sure it blends in with your surroundings.
In our Gold Grade, we offer two exotic woods that are finished in a clear poly to let the natural beauty of the wood come through. The exotic woods used to craft these cost almost as much as the selling price of this offering. Thus we have to use the exotic wood on-hand after making other products. For that reason, we reserve the right to substitute other, equally attractive exotic woods.
AFRICAN SHEDUA
A beautiful tan/brown wood with fine black striping. It is very hard rigid wood that takes a glass like finish. Think of a much harder, lighter walnut.
JATOBA (Brazillian Cherry)
Hard, heavy and tough. It is also one of the more commonly available exotic woods and the color range runs from Russett to reddish brown, often with some striping or streaking.
HICKORY
Up to two times stronger and more rigid than other domestic hardwoods which make it a great choice for this application. We rub a medium brown stain on this blonde wood to make sure it blends in with your surroundings.
