You'll like those sticks Andy. I've been using them for a few years now, and forsaken all others. Not only does the swiveling head allow smooth panning on a moving coyote, but the way the top piece bridges the two legs, makes the whole setup more stable than "crossed" sticks.

Andy,
I met and spoke with Vern yesterday and described your predicament. He said that being as you had an Airedale, he wouldn't recommend you using his sticks as they just wouldn't hold up. He suggested you get a couple of pieces of rebar either 1/2" or 5/8" 30-36" long.
But I bought a pair of his sticks for me, and like everyone says, there the best I've ever seen!

After using the Stoney Point tripod w/tailpiece, I'm a believer. It holds your rifle/shotgun at the ready hands-free for calling in either sitting or standing position and doubles as a camera tripod for photos. The tripod actually breaks down into a mono-pod and a bipod. Tripods were actually banned at the last Memorial Hunt cold barrel shoot, because they give an unfair advantage over those still shooting a mono- or bi-pod. I bought the whole package at Cabela's and it saved a lot of dough over buying the individual parts from SP.

I just ordered two of the Vern Howies from APC. Funny thing, I went to their site and again, they werent listed. Just the top listed pair only. I had to go back to this thread and go in from the posted link to get them.
Weird.
Cant wait to try em out though!!
