My setup

8up · Post by **8up** » Wed May 14, 2008 5:13 pm

It a Excalibur Vortex 200 lb. Its equiped with a Lumizone scope and a selfmade detachable shooting stick. I put the double string suppressor on it (STS) I have a rangefinder mount with a bushnell rangefinder velcro'd in place. Shortly I will have a Boo Custom string with cat whiskers as well. I'm in love with it and can't wait till September so I can add some steel and carbon to a deer's diet.

Looking sweet!

We have a similar setup.

Exomax
Lumizone
Rangefinder mount
Bushnell Rangefinder
Bipod

Now you just need to wire up a remote rangefinder activator button

Thanks guys. I actually went out with it today. I found my hat hits the rangefinder when I tried looking thru the scope I just flipped the hat around and sat till dark. I will have to re evaluate it tomorrow. Pretty neat remote switch. I want a way to reflect the rangefinders reading into my scope.

Looks great! "selfmade detachable shooting stick" that caught my attention. I am thinking about a Steddy Eddy........yours looks great. What did you use to make it/mount it?

I used an air line swivel to make it so it would fold under. I drilled the sling swivel out so a 1/4-20 screw would go thru it. I bought a set screw and epoxy from the hardware store. The set screw was 7/16 outside and threaded 1/4 inside. The air line swivel has one male threaded end that can be removed with a snap ring. After removing it I used a 7/16 tap to thread it. I epoxyed the set screw into the swivel and then the 1/4"-20 screw into the set screw.

The shooting stick was a black "Hunter's Specialties" I pulled the Y off of it and the insert in that end and epoxied in a male 1/4" air tool nipple. It simply screws in and out of the swivel for detaching. I took "No-Mar tape made by Hunter's Specialties" and covered it. Altogether Probably cost me $25

all thats left is to srill and tap the air line swivel for my sling stud.
