@@Covalt-r4m Hi there , thanks for checking out the video and I’m glad you found it useful there is an update to that video where I added a ball head to the system it offers some flexibility to the sticks , as for the sling it was a guy on one of the facebook groups that was making some shooting gear from home I can’t seem to find his site but if I come across it I’ll be happy to pass it on , the sling he makes we’re actually for a tripod I just adapted it to fit the sticks , have a look at tripod slings that you can possibly adapt yourself, sorry I can’t be more helpful , cheers G.

@@karlfell3768 Hi Karl , thanks for watching the video if you look at the video I made after this one where I add a ball head to the system that may be of interest to you too cheers G. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/msiappRz1NuRf6c.htmlsi=Q5haT3o0EIRKe98m

Ok I will do.

🤣🤣🤣 love it , nice to hear from you too buddy, hope your doing well mate ? give us a like on the video so it might help out the algorithm .👍😎

🤣🤣 thank you mate, so far about 60 views and 1 like facking awesome lol , glad your well have you been shooting much?

Hi buddy where did you get the scope turret stickers from on your scope ? Given it a like too 👍

@@mikefinn38 Hi Mike thanks for checking out the video and the like much appreciated , the scope stickers are from Airgun 101 in the uk , www.airgun101shop.co.uk/collections/stickers

Hi , have a look at this video should explain everything kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJaberRlq7HIqI0.htmlsi=fuwsryl1KHuUYmXq

Thanks pal much appreciated 👍

@@kallemlink No worries bud 😃

Thanks for the comment, but I will say just because a person can get a good group at 100 yards doesn’t mean they can shoot well at distance if there numbers are all over the place , I have had some very good results since that video was made, but I appreciate your comment.

@@GianniG55 But a load that can't give good groups at 100yds will NEVER work better further. It's logical, good results at 100 shows your max accuracy potential, it won't necessarily work as well further, but it can. Excuse me but didn't you follow Bryan Litz's methods?

Hi , thanks for the comment, checkout this updated video I made to the .17 bore guide you might find it interesting kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbeZg9hjldHLep8.htmlsi=t2EMaij5sGd0mNRu also in regards to cleaning the bore i actually don’t clean the bore too often unless accuracy falls off I may give it a light scrub with a nylon brush and a bit of solvent to remove some carbon but I don’t scrub my bore to spotlessly clean i think it’s absolutely a waste of time and more often than not once you get the bore spotless you may find you’re groups are crap until you foul the barrel again and that might be a good few rounds until the accuracy gets back to normal, I have not had any issues with leaving some fouling left in the bore even if I have had a good few rounds when I have been out I mostly run a pull through, through it . But like I said I don’t clean it like I thought I needed too and my accuracy is bang on when I leave the house, but unless I got water in the bore then I would absolutely give it a clean and wipe out. Another thing sorry to make this a long reply, because this is a fast round i honestly believe that a layer of fouling protects the bore rather than a completely bare metal bore absorbing the full amount of the heat explosion and the first round being shot and possibly dragging over the bore surface, but if you do prefer to clean each and every time then by all means do what you think is right, and like I said checkout the updated video to that bore guide, all the best G.

@@GianniG55 thank you for an ekstensive answer! I Will investigate further.

Hi Dave thanks for the comment although this video was made quite some time ago I think my Shooting has improved since then or at least I hope so if you look at some later videos hopefully that will show that but no I think just maybe that was just some bad shooting on my behalf to be honest , I still think the feet can still work but probably need some mastering to get the rifle recoiling in a straight line along with cheek weld and shoulder pressure, cheers G.

Gotcha I thought you were saying they were opening up vs rubber feet you previously shot on. Thanks for the reply.

@@davenimetz3129 No worries and thanks for looking 😁👍

Hi , the 1/4-3/8 adapter should come with the ball head , or if you need one separately they can be found very easily and cheap on the internet, just enter 3/8-1/4 adapter in the search box and that’s it, hope that answers your question , cheers G.

I have placed a 15/16 pound rifle and a FX Maverick which there is a video for that, without issues as long as you find the balance point of the rifle , it will sit well and stay put , but you can’t expect a heavy rifle to sit at a 45 degree angle by itself self on something like the trigger sticks while you walk a way , plus there is no need for that in my opinion , but I like I said once you have it at the balance point it supports it very well, but if you need a much bigger more robust tripod then you’ll have to spend some serious cash, the videos I’ve posted for these trigger sticks was to make the sticks more versatile . Hope that helps cheers G.

Yes , thanks for that , most people managed to watch the video without too much difficulty even with the traffic noise, will try to find a less noisey location when possible.

As far as I can remember yes I think it did , but if it was not supplied with it , they are very cheap to buy .

@@GianniG55 to confirm it does come with the adapter. Thank you for this video. I've now got a very useful tripod from the primos rig I already owned and never used. For the $$$ I don't know how it could be better

@@hgbm72 Hey glad the video was helpful, I definitely think by adding these upgrades it takes the shooting sticks to the next level, cheers G.

Glad the video was useful James , there is a update to the video where I also add a ball head to the setup might be worth your while, cheers G.

Hi Ray , yes seems to be a thing , people in the states have had some luck at getting replacement parts for their units, I have posted a follow up video to this one showing the 3D printed gears which has saved my bacon lol .

Hi Dave thanks for checking out the video , I don’t have the links , but all you need todo is punch up 3/8 to 1/4 quarter screw adapter and you can also order the Primos trigger sticks adapter plate which is already 1/4 inch these two items will then pretty much let you fit them to any ball head , hope that helps..cheers G.

What was the depth of the conversion adapter please?

@@caseyrolfe72 , sorry are you asking me how thick the adapter plate is ?

They come in various lengths on Amazon and I don't want to order them to long

@@caseyrolfe72 Oh sorry I see, just go for the short option that will be just fine .

I myself haven’t tried it with a short barrel but I would guess if you can get a slug stable enough it would get there quite well.

@@GianniG55 Thanks

I have just looked online and it appears that they are unavailable in the UK i originally got mine from optics warehouse uk they do seem to have some other brands on their website , sorry I can’t be more help but I know there are some different designs on the market now .

Hi Aaron , if you look at a couple of my previous videos it shows me using a 15 / 16 lb rifle showing that the sticks will support the rifle as long as you find the balance point of the rifle I’ve had no issues take a look at the video to see what I mean , but obviously if you want something much more expensive and robust there are some other options but my video is to give people some better options for these shooting sticks, hope that helps cheers G. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8Vdiq51187Hkn0.htmlsi=PF3f3rtvrfyH0FDZ

Hi and thanks for the comment, yes as long as you find the balance point of the rifle it will hold the rifle in place no problem, hope that helps cheers G.

Id imagine the bigger the ball head the better the clamping strength. seen a 44mm one on Amazon rated for 25kg, about £45, might be the one to go for.

@@stephenoshea1166 that would depend on the tripod size too as for the trigger sticks this 35mm is plenty but if you have a big tripod should be no problem.

Hi and thanks for the comment, my brother bought a 25mm version and it was a bit small too be honest and it didn’t seem to have enough hold or locking power he then bought this version and was much happier, hope that helps cheers G.

Hey , you’re welcome glad the video was helpful, glad that Hornady we’re willing to send you the gears instead of you having to send the unit out to them because I was told that they don’t send parts out but would carry out the repairs themselves, but as you can see it’s pretty straightforward, hopefully the 3D printed parts I have which are made from stronger plastic should last a while at least I hope so lol , anyway thanks for checking out the video most appreciated cheers G.

@@GianniG55 parts came in like two days. All gears mounted on the metal posts… fixed it. No charge. Pretty impressed. Although we wouldn’t have this problem if they hadnt used plastic at all… and for $144 I think they should use metal…

@@bingostar9207 ..yes that is good my only concern is that although I have fixed mine by replacing all 3 gears there wasn’t any replacement for the central cog ⚙️ that drives the other 3 gears which is made of plastic so if that goes I’m buggered unless I can get that centre cog 3D printed too but for now it’s working fine.

Hi James thank you for checking out the video and commenting there is a quick follow up video i posted a few months ago showing that there is a little adapter that you will require to attach the ball head please watch that video it was something I should have put in this one but missed it , all the best G.

Thanks for looking and checking out the video.

Well i actually paid £180 so yes I guess it was close to that , even the original hog saddle was around £300 and now there are saddles which are high into the hundreds , there some plastic ones about which might be quite a bit less expensive , no one is saying you need to buy one.

@@GianniG55 no, no, seems like a real top of the food chain product, but here in canada, man, we pay the total for parts. Sorry about the confusion.

@@iantouzel638 Hey no worries, I mean it is well made CNC machined and all that and I guess that does come with a price tag but believe me there are far more pricier options out there and especially when buying a big carbon tripod like some people buy which can easily get over a thousand bucks, I just wanted to get more out of my gen 3 sticks and in a video I did after that one I even added a ball head and really glad I did the whole setup just works really well without spending a ton of money.

@@GianniG55 cool, i will watch it, begining to look after a sadle for mine, have the tripod from Primos. Thank's

Thanks for the comment Dave, yes I think they work really well and very affordable..👍

Primos sell the adapter with the sticks or you can buy it separately plenty on the internet.

If you read the description it says Vihtavuori N140.

That’s good Sylvia glad that we can get the brass without any problems, or having to fireform other brass but at least you learnt another skill well done.

Hi Jean , the arrows are very stiff for that bow the spine is 330 and the shaft weight is over 9g per inch I think I used a 100g or 125g point , with a 10-20g insert , total weight of arrow is 430g my arrow length is around 30 inches with the nock on the rope it is placed very close to 90* hope that helps , cheers G.

@@GianniG55 thank you very much for your information, I'm going to tackle my setup, and I'm going to test .. I'm discovering the Border family, I have a HEX 9 Covert H, in 47# thank you for your sharing and your videos, friendship. jean.G

@@JeanGaloppin You’re welcome , you can probably try the 300 spine arrows and play around from there, all the best G.

Thanks for checking out the video , cheers G.

I do believe I have shown what the product is called by showing the name on the box in the video , a quick google search will show who carries them for the Country you are in , I purchased mine from optics warehouse in the UK.

FLEXLITE GunPod FM-300 , I purchased it from optics warehouse in the uk , this is the smaller option they also do a bigger chunky one.

Great video. Do you think this will hold a 10# crossbow for sighting in and perhaps shooting from a ground blind? Thanks

@@mwallace6540 thanks for checking out the video, I don’t see why not I have placed a 16lb centerfire in the saddle with no issues, I don’t know what type of stock the crossbow has but as long as it fits into the saddle I would think it would work well , cheers G.

I got it from a army surplus store there are loads on line pretty easy to get .

Hi , at the moment, it is the superior heavy liner , but I also have a STX superior heavy slug liner which has a 1: 16 twist which I will also be trying at some point .

Yes I’m sure that can be achieved and can be helpful , thanks for the comment.

Thanks buddy 😁👍

Hi buddy hope your well ? , thanks for tuning in always appreciated. 😁👍

Hi Mike , I would agree with you that people should be or at least show some sense in using the trigger sticks , I personally feel there is no real reason why you need to leave the sticks unattended for long periods, they are there for stability or quick shooting and can be a great asset, but the shoulder should always be at the back of the rifle for added support, and if you need to leave the rifle for some reason stick on the ground or if your near your shooting vehicle put it there, so you definitely have a valid point, all the best G. 😁👍

Hi , the ball head comes with a 3/8 thread so I simply added a 3/8-1/4 thread adapter and that just screws onto the trigger sticks plate hope that helps? Cheers G.

@@GianniG55 brilliant idea great job enjoying the videos still thanks

@@visiter127, thanks brother for the comment always appreciate you taking the time to watch the content 😁👍

@@GianniG55 not at all always enjoyed Ur vids mate

@@visiter127thank you , just wish that KZfaq can push my content as their algorithm seems to have really choked my channel ??

Hi , yes the Maverick is more than capable of being a great Airgun, good for target as well as hunting , also sounds like you have some good nock down power there , thanks for the comment cheers G. 👍

@GianniG55 Thanks for replying. Yes the heavy slug tuning was important for longer distances. Perhaps the heavy liner will finalize the mods. Thanks again for sharing.

Hi Razor, please watch a couple of my videos on the channel that were made after this one , it shows me adding a saddle and ball head to the sticks and that should definitely answer your question plus the upgrade will definitely take those sticks to the next level , let me know what you think after you see the two videos, cheers G.

Hi matt ,I used a arrow shaft with a outside diameter of 6.3 mm and then I had a friend reduce one end of the shaft using a lathe down to 5.95 mm which is almost the same diameter as a shell casing so it would be a good fit and also be good to keep solvents from leaking back into the magazine well , hope that helps cheers G.

​​@@GianniG55 Hi outer is 6.3mm, how much is the inner diameter for the tube? I want to make a bore guide for my cz457. Thanks

@@MrDavyam Hi D , the arrow shaft I used was 6.3mm , I then had a friend use a lathe to reduce that outer diameter to 5.95mm so that will fit nice and snugly into the breach , that 5.95mm diameter is pretty much what a shell casing measures so a perfect fit but that’s what i used just an aluminium arrow shaft that measures 6.3mm and you simply reduce that one end so that it fits perfectly into the breach which stops any solutions seeping out all the place, hope I have answered your question? Cheers G.

Hi , I purchased this from optics wearhouse , at the time they had two versions this one was the smaller one of the two and the other was bigger and chunkier, cheers G.

Hi , I’m not exactly sure but you would have to go online to our British site and see in their shipping section if they deliver worldwide, cheers G.

@@GianniG55 👌🤝

Hi Rocket and thanks for checking out the video, for longer range shooting I found using just the saddle adequate but when I needed to shoot at some close range rats the ball head came in very handy, I have also taken the saddle off and have used my FX Maverick which has a arca rail and slips on great to the ball head so I get the best of both worlds, all best cheers G.

​@@GianniG55did you have a link for the saddle and ball head?

@@Lij_MC the link for the saddle was FLEXLITE GunPod FM-300 and the ball head was from a website called K&FConcept and it was the 35mm head sorry I don’t have the actual link shouldn’t be too hard to find or there could be other alternatives by now ,but personally I wouldn’t go smaller than 35mm for the ball head, hope that’s of some help.

I bought it from optics wearhouse in the UK.

Hi and thanks for checking out the video , I’m not sure if the company I purchased it from is still making them , they are in the states, but i think you can find very similar ones these days and probably have improved, cheers G.
