Here's some class feedback. First elk hunt ever this week and I was in some nasty country. Spotted a legal bull at 1030yds the first afternoon as the sun was setting. Took an opprotunity to close the gap to 640yds and he was still standing there on the adjacent ridge.

I was at an extreme downward angle and he was quartering away from me a few hundred feet above on the adjacent ridge. There was no prone shot and not a good opprotunity for a kneeling shot due to the angles. Standing it was. I knew from class I suck at standing off hand shots so I needed some help.

I grabbed one stick for a front rest and leaned into a large tree in front of me. I was still breathing hard from running up the hill and my wobble zone was far too large.

I grabbed another stick and crossed it with my first and tried again. Much better. Two very large deep breaths and my wobble shrunk significantly as I went through my sequence.

All I hear behind me is my buddy "Holy shit you just dropped him." Rack another round quickly and try to get on him again. My 300prc leaves no chance for spotting impacts but I shoot it very well.

The bull fell over backwards and tumbled down the hill getting his rack hung up about 50yds from where I shot him. He never moved again.

100% of this success is from class. There's no way I would ever have even thought about taking that shot prior. Ive been practicing what we learned since June and put it to work and now im sitting at home wondering when my whole body will quit hurting from a few hard days in the mountains. Rest assured, I have a smile on my face still.

So a huge thank you to Form, PNWGATOR, Mike, and Mikey for dropping all of that knowledge on us. A thank you to the rest of the entire class is in order too, we had a great time. I sipped a victory glass of bourbon when I got back to camp that night and laughed about all of the good times that were had with our group thinking back on it.

Nice shooting!

Am I misreading or did you take that shot with no rear support? Very impressive.

Thank you. Yes, you read correctly. I was able to prop the butt pad on top of the phone holder on my bino harness but had no hand to manipulate it.
