I’m not a big spender when it comes to wind flags, so when a member linked me to the mtm wind flags from amazon last year I was all over those-
So in practicing my target shooting how I set them up was to insert them into a one gallon bucket filled with sand and I’d poke the rod the flag came with thru the lid.
The Sanford and Son wind flag set up, lol-
At the recent EBR AGN member ZX10WALL (Derek Wall) had shown me his mtm flags set up on a tripod and ball head. Loved the idea and I wanted to somehow thread this part of the flags holder-
onto the 1/4-20 threads of the ball head but was unsure of how to do it.
So I reached out to member CFS916 to recreate the plastic wire holder out of machined aluminum with 1/4-20 threads. Oh boy, just like his machined cocking handles he’s made for my fx guns
He’s done an awesome job. The wire can be pulled out of the factory piece, inserted into the machined piece and set with a locking grub screw.
Then, threaded onto the 1/4-20 male thread on the ball head so you can now use these MTM flags on a tripod
These tripods I’ll link from amazon, along with the ball heads. They both come in a two pack, and doing the math with the mtm wind flags now going for $17 on amazon, you could set yourself up with a pair of wind flags you will be proud to own and that will add to the target shooting enjoyment for not a lot of money.
If you’re looking to set yourself up with flags on the cheap but boast quality, give CFS916 a pm for the adapters and here are the links to the tripod and ball head set ups below- thanks a bunch, CFS916!!!
