Shoot 2 Hunt 0-600 Yard Online Class

[ericmcd]

Ive been following every post hoping to see if this online class is actually going to happen but this thread is completely off the rails.

Has there been any talk of cost yet?

Taking my time. 4/4 10” Target at 300

If your prone you should be controlling the rear of the rifle with your off hand,

Like this, pinching the stock between thumb and pointer finger

With your other 3 fingers you grab the side, or accessories pouch or whatever you can move over for the desired height. All you are using the harness for is to fill the gap between those 3 fingers and the ground.

You lay it flat if it needs to be lower,View attachment 898850

Stand your binos up for it to be higher

I copied these from another thread but I really appreciate videos and pictures like these. While I understand that it’s difficult to fully capture the depth of an in-person shooting course online, I believe there is significant value in offering something similar for hunters and shooters who are eager to learn. What may seem simple to some can be incredibly insightful to others, I would never have thought to use a bino harness as a rear rest, let alone while still wearing it. I hope an online course is still being considered, even if it’s a more basic or streamlined version compared to the in-person experience.

Agreed, I am trying to find all these vids I have seen on here, I know @Formidilosus has thrown a few on her as well. I am trying to create a library.
If anyone has any on the following that would really help

-proper grip
-proper trigger finger
-field positions (not prone) * I know form had a great pic I think of his gf cross legged with a backpack?

Any legit sources would be effin awesome!!

The grip one is something I would really like as I think its my week spot

@Formidilosus @Bluumoon do you guys ever shoot off tripod in the field? or is it too slow?

Im down.

Since this has kinda turned into a positional help thread, does anyone have any recommendations on field positions for shooting up hill? I had a scenario last weekend where I had a buck above me about 200 yards. I eventually got set up prone with the pack sitting upright but wondering how others tackle that scenario. Much further I don't think I was stable enough there

Add a rear pack rest and you’re good to go



lol, I’ve practiced uphill shots with quick stix up front. My buddies aren’t this flexible.

Did you wear the cut off jean shorts just for the picture?
Did the RO approve this?

Flattered to be asked, but there are better folks around here to advise. In general, I think the best thing you can do is try and devise shooting positions/hunting scenarios you may encounter and recreate those in your training. There are a few threads around here, ie what position did you shoot your last big game animal from? Take those scenarios/positions and shoot them on a scorable target, see what tweaks you can make on positioning to improve stability/score. Then try the same thing timed.

Tripod can be very stable, I made unmentionably long shots on an elk last year from a tripod and hiking stick combo, but I had all the time in the world to set it up and no way to get closer (I spent all day trying to find a closer shooting position).

We have a game of HORSE going on here, winner sets the rules for the next month. Hopefully we’ll continue to have unique scenarios and guys filming their shooting positions.
