My new Bald Eagle Rest Baseplate

[wvlongshot]

What about the Sinclair rests? Are they the same spacing as Hart?

The BE Slingshot rest comes in cast iron and I think it weighs at a little over 20 lbs.

I have a BE cast iron slingshot with a Farley joystick top and it weighs at least 20lbs. Great rest for less than $700 thanks to this forum.

If you make plates to sell I would be interested.

I shot for the first time the other day with the plate. Oh my... totally better. The Shadetree top is due in the mail today.

I will update when i find out when the plates will be ready for sale.

Any chance of cutting a slot in the front as a handle?

Tag for future base for Hart rest.

I'd be interested if you decide to make them.

 

[nmkid]

I'd probably be in for one for my Slingshot.

I have an original Bald Eagle Slingshot. I should sell it and get a cast iron Slingshot I guess. I could, of course make a plate for it too I suppose.

I Also have a BaldEagle Sling shot cast iron rest & would be interested in purchasing if you make a run of these for that application....very nice work..

OK, I am in, are these in production? I think I want the 3/4 inch plate.

My friend that had sent out the plates to get cut is having a very difficult time in his job. I guess I am going to have to find a new vendor.

"Separate flat boards or plates not exceeding the dimensions of the individual rests by two inches are allowed to be placed under the front and/or rear rests. See Rule 3.4.1(a)(1). No leveling screws or protrusions are allowed on these boards or plates. They must be flat on the top and bottom."

Do the leveling screws violate this rule?

SEPARATE.

These are not separate. It is all one piece. You are not understanding the rule.

Maybe you should have explained that the rest is fastened to the plate by mechanical means. I see nothing in the posts or pictures that explains that.

It is all one piece. The plate becomes the base attached the the rest. Sorry is that was not made clear.

Urbanrifleman are you still thinking about making these base plates? I am also curious how well you like your shadetree joystick top plate?

 

[varget204]

I wanted to make my Bald Eagle way more stable so I made this base. It is 1/2" steel plate. It adds 22 lbs. Man, is it nice. I even like my paint job, it is a whole can of Rustoleum hammered finish bronze rattle can cooked in my gas grill. It looks powder coated.

Considering how many people have bought the Grizzly Bald Eagle rest, I thought maybe I might make a run of these. We could make them here in Tulsa.

Love it!!

I never could get a vendor to make it.

Bummer on the plate but I appreciate the feedback on the Shadetree top!
Take care!

I added the Shade tree top to my BE and quite honestly for my type of shooting it's more than enough rest.

Me too. Especially with the heavy round feet.
