Wind flags & poles

[JMayo]

I shoot rimfire also. I have Ezell wind flags however the stands are only 5' tall.
I've been told the golf ball retriever poles work great. Getting a stomp spike added stops me.
Any suggestions for a pole that I can use my flags with ?

Billy Dittman makes some real good poles that can be made in all different sizes. They are not cheap. Contact number is 770-735-6988. He is in Jasper, GA.

Ok I have a ball retriever set up. I took out 2 top sections and my top pole of the stands I have fits perfect.
All I need is a way to stake it down.

I offer a very nice tripod base that I'm pretty sure will work on that pole. I offer both spikes and tripods. Pm me if you're interested. Mike Ezell

The home made ones in that style that I’ve seen would require a little welding if you can or have access to?
They basically drill a hole in the center of a screw on pipe cap, typically 1” diameter and weld a spike in that hole about 1” proud to give you a hammering point for pounding in the ground. On the pole you already have, take a short 3-4” piece of threaded pipe that can screw into the cap/spike assembly and your golf ball pole can slide into tight. Then drill and rivet or bolt the pipe to your pole. It’s a two piece setup but works great, Here’s some old pictures but the poles aren’t taken apart.
