I shoot a lot of PRS and NRL hunter matches where a prone bipod situation is rare. My #1 advice is to shoot some matches (especially NRL). You'll learn more about positional shooting doing it on the clock, and observing pros, than you'll ever learn from a class..Hey guys,
I was hoping for some input on a shooting position from Form, or someone who has attended the S2H class. Where I hunt mule deer, my most common shot will be seated. If time is not short, then a good bipod/tripod up front, and the pack as a rear rest make a super solid position. However, I know almost everyone dumps bipods/tripods after going through the class. So, if I need to make a 450 yard seated shot, what does my position and support need to look like? Pics are great. Thanks!
As Ken said there's nothing more stable from a seated position, fast, or adjustable on the fly as extended bipod with rear support.
Personally I think anyone intending to take accurate longish range shots on animals without a tripod or bipod are handicapping themselves.
If I could only have one support where I hunt it'd be a tripod, that's because brush is almost always too high to shoot seated or prone.
Being able to shoot standing is an absolute game changer, and if theres time you can typically get creative using something like a tree for added rear support, or those trecking poles everyone's so proud of.
