I would like to buy or make some nice wind flag [extendable] poles, anyone have a good idea where to buy the poles or maybe the parts  to make the poles. thanks for any info.    ledball

Ledball not knowing what type of height you need to achieve the below stand extends to approx 4ft 6 inches and was purchased at the local hardware store. It is a heavy duty halogen work light stand that came without the lights for 16.00ea. Folded up it is 24 inches in length and 5 inches in dia. If this is what you might be looking for you need to beware as they also have the light duty stands but they only extend to about 2ft 6inches in height.

  A drummer friend of mine was throwing out a cymbal stand that the mount broke off. Sawed the end off square, fit a dowel on top with a skateboard wheel attached, put an arrow thru the wheel, made a paper clip chain with a ribbon attached & hooked it to the nock. Works great, cost zip. Usually shoot at 100yards, so one at 50 is enough for me. Also have a bent wirethat I snap on my shooting box & hang a ribbon.               MIKE

I have BOTH the cymbol stand and a halogen light stand (like the one pictured).  Both at (different) yard sales - $8 and $5.

Ok, I'm cheap and bragging about it.

The thinwall conduit works too - and it's free in the trash bin at work.
