I suck and own it, what about you?

Which drill is this? I vaguely remember reading about this a while back but can’t remember the name of it.

I tried the drill today, got a nice helping of humble pie! It showed me what I need to work on, I'll be trying it again soon.

Yeah. Once for me is enough. Will never do it again.
I don't need that kind of negative reinforcement in my life.
It erodes my confidence.

 

[*zap*]

Be positive and go forward.

The S2HU 100 YD Hunting Rifle drill, originally developed by Carl Ross.

DO IT EXACTLY HOW YOU CARRY WHILE HUNTING!

STRING 1: No time limits.
7MOA = 2 shots offhand
5MOA = 2 shots sitting unsupported
3MOA = 2 shots sitting or keeling with sticks or backpack
2MOA = 2 shots prone (can use a pack, but no rear bag, no bipod)

STRING 2: Is a repeat of string one, but with a 20 second par time. I set a timer on my phone, if the shot isn’t taken BEFORE the buzzer, it doesn’t count.7MOA = 2 shots offhand in 20 seconds
5MOA = 2 shots sitting unsupported in 20 seconds
3MOA = 2 shots sitting or keeling with sticks or backpack in 20 seconds
2MOA = 2 shots prone in 15 seconds (can use pack, but no bipod and no rear bag)

STRING 3: is a “medley”. One shot from each position, with a 60 second par time.

60 seconds to go from standing with all gear strapped in, to the following-

7MOA = 1 shot offhand
5MOA = 1 shot sitting unsupported
3MOA = 1 shot sitting or keeling with sticks or backpack
2MOA = 1 shot prone (can use pack, bipod or rear bag- but everything must start each string completely stowed)

Looks easy so I’m sure I’ll be eating a lot of humble pie this weekend.

Thread 'Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting'

This isn’t in response to anyone I particular, but there is an up tick in the amount of “I want a XXXX distance hunting rifle” traffic the last few months. I am getting a lot of questions relating to this, which I do not mind helping, but thought a public post might help answer some questions. It’s an attempt to get to actually using your rifles.


People online tend to act like 600/800/whatever yards is a rifle, cartridge and BDC scope purchase away. When someone asks for advice, or says I’m building an -insert whatever rifle/cartridge you want-, people are discussing hardware not...

14/20 today. It was not a good day offhand or sitting/supported. Sitting unsupported was money as was prone.

The animals need to be there, cooperate, luck...all the above. The best part is we dont hunt for horns or antlers, we hardly ever pass a legal animal up. We just meat hunt. My cousin had 10-12 points that he didn't use and burned them. He was walking back down the road to shoot a forky on the last evening and this monster popped up. I think he's #25 or something in the book...he may have dropped down on his ranking. Anyway...the moral of the story, be ready to shoot in all positions.

We hunt off hand most of the time for blacktail in thick timber in OR and we track cow elk in the snow. Off hand is the game most of the time. But last year on our cow elk hunt my cousin missed 2 off hand. I miss one, and then I took a cow at 535 sitting on rock with my rifle on a 8" burnt tree that was tri pod hieight with no rear rest just floating it. Day 7 of an 8 day hunt. Go figure. We had moving elk with split seconds to shoot.

That mass is crazy. Very nice.

I just shot this for the first time tonight.
12/20 isn't where I thought I'd be, but room for improvement, I guess.

Just a reminder that lots of folks forget this bit here and it GREATLY affects scores as nearly everyone I’ve seen on their first try will time out on some stages….

“Everything must start each string completely stowed”

This means pack on, rifle as you carry it when hunting, rear bag if used is stored where you keep it or clipped to pack. Gun on safe and unloaded. Etc.

I came down to the last second on the final string for my prone shot the alarm went off as the recoil finished. Every other one I was close but got them off. I was definitely rushed and felt that the time limit made me aim and shoot quicker than I would've like but that's the point.
I have already been doing make and break positions for prone shooting so that one went pretty well. But lots of room for improvement.

You carry your rifle unloaded?

I carry my rifle in the following status…

Empty chamber
Bolt closed
Safety on
Full magazine

I also require anyone I hunt with to do the same.

That’s good shooting man. Just getting all the shots off on your first try shows you are practiced with your hunting gun.

Makes sense.

I carry my rifle in condition 3 if it is slung, but condition 1 if not slung.

One thing I didn't realize but this exercise forced me to develop quickly: When I am still wearing my bino harness and binos still in the harness( Mardupial Gear with Maven B6 12x50s) and shooting prone. The normal bino harness as a rear rest is in the way and way too high if it falls below the butt pad. I had to make sure it was completely out of the way quickly and use my range finder which id beside the harness or my hand. Those decisions have to be made split-second and on the fly.

My marsupial gear with Revic BLR10Bs can be used as my rear rest while being worn, whether the binos are laying next to me for range/re-range or still in the harness.

I think I wear my harness maybe a touch lower and not as tight as some folks which may aid in this?

Edit: Also curious how much Rokstok flat bottom is aiding with this as well? What stock are you using?

Mine is a factory Tikka stock so more of a height difference in the bottom of the stock. I wear my harness tight to my chest, I undo the left side strap so the harness falls away and to my right side freely. Normally, if my binos are on the tripod, it works perfect to use the empty bino case as the rear bag. But in this exercise, if my pack isn't as full as maybe a late season hunt, the rear of the stock needs to be much lower which forces me to use either just my hand or my rangefinder in it's case which sits the right side of my bino case.
