Shiloh Rifle Forums

Do any of you know if the Purdy design shooting sticks are NRA legal for matches? I built myself a set and they are extremely stable and Ive seen them used by a fellow names Sagebrush Longshots on YouTube.
The plans for these are available again on you tube.

What say you

Here is a Pic of the plans.

No.

"Artificial support for Black Powder Cartridge Rifle only shall be in the form of approved design crossed sticks constructed of two wooden legs, no greater than 1 inch by 2 inches in thickness and width or 11⁄2 inches in diameter, and bolted or tied so that the two legs are hinged and capable of pivoting. The end of the legs may be equipped with spikes no more than 3 inches in length and no wider than the edge of the crossed stick. They may be inserted into the ground by hand pressure only to aid in retention of an upright position. This may be waived by the Match Director to fit local conditions. One layer of protective material may be suspended or inserted in the “V” of the crossed sticks to protect the rifle. All cross sticks will be certified. The non-trigger hand is considered artificial support when in contact with the ground and the rifle butt stock simultaneously."
