Thanks, Sir Wolf- I managed to get one off of one of the AA forumites, but forget who it was, exactly. In any case, they were welding up some and I got ahold of one, it was like $30 I think. Anyway, all it really is is a bed rail cut down with a piece welded over one end to make a square opening (might be two such pieces, one further down to stabilize the pole) with the bottom part being just the rail - that's the end you push into the ground. Instant standard bearer!
Just need the pole. Any ideas where I can get one? Been to my local HD and all they had was staves already prepped for shovels and other gardening style tools. I'll need two...the other to mount my spear and buttcap onto.
