I use two full length wood shafts, put side by side and put a rubber band around them wrapped multiple times 2 inches or so down from one end. Works great as a bipod that I use to cradle the ol 22-250 when hunting 'yotes.

I made some a few years back from an old crappie jig pole. I had a ground blind set up for my son during rifle season to ground hunt and needed them for a long lane on one side. It was the kind that telescope out. I took the two lower sections that were about 4 feet long and held them in the X position and used about 20 wraps of electrical tape in a crisscross on the joint about 4inches from the top. The tape will flex to fold down and holds them in place when you spread them out to shoot. You are able to adjust the height by spreading the legs . They are super light and durable and were the best price .... free !

I made a set also out of the replacement tent poles, all I used to connect them together was one of the ends off the old solid rubber bungee chord. I also made a tripod out of bamboo stakes from the home improvement store and tied them togeter with a strip of bicycle innertube.

take two landscaping stakes, 4 feet long, line them up front and back, drill a hole through them both, put a bolt through them, and put a wing nut on the back somewhat tight, but loose enough so they will still open.

I read somewhere before where someone used the length of a hockey stick by ripping it down the middle then crossing and bolting the 2 halves back together.
