Deerstalk sent me one that I'm working on now, but I wouldn't be against another one (the second time you make something it's always better than the first
I'll need a fork that is at least 1 1/4" minimum at the base where I'd be attaching it to the wood (that's the diameter of the wood I'm using and that would be a pretty damn thick antler!)

I just made two shooting sticks , using your design Sudsy! my neighbors dogs bring sheds almost every day. usually first year type.
yesterday we were shooting and he was moaning about needing a shooting stick. being he had just given me a couple sheds i figured i would knock a couple out.
cut a couple black willow staff's and stripped them. they will dry a dull red. will probably dress them up later.
cant decide if i want to leave the three tines or not. so for now they stay.

I will look at my supply tomorrow. In the meantime, can you reduce the diameter of the wood to match the antler diameter?
Doing a thinner one now
Want to do another with the thicker wood to see if it makes a difference in stability
