it works!
I WILL figure out a Rokstok for the Sauer.

We picked up a few sauers in the recent sale. I'll be attempting a few wood rokstoks for them myself.

I’m very comfortable with the rest of it but the bit I have circled needs some more explanation

Would an SWFA 6x limit a student in any way in this course?

I shot the entire course with a SWFA fixed 6 power. On a rifle Form graciously loaned me when my Remington totally failed to feed. It was eye opening and worked fine.

Please tell me you replaced the Remington?

I still have it. A bench gun for my boys to use occasionally. And yes, with several Tikka 223

Okay that’s acceptable.

Okay that’s acceptable.

It's a 45 year old gun. Updated. Was owned by a gunner sergeant from WW2. He was a doctor. I mowed his lawn and rifle range. Was my first job in the 80s. When he died, his wife left me buy it to remember him by. I would hate to let it go.

Oh I definitely get that!

Anyone heard if they’re going to have a 600-1000 class?

Bumping this up. Last year I saw a class was offered but not sure if it went through

Post S2H 2025 Hunting Season Recap


I took a mule deer buck in UT, Blacktail buck in AK and a cow elk in UT


The deer hunts did use aspects of S2H but the best illustration is the cow elk hunt

I was hiking into position to make a 500-600 yard shot from a rolling hill on some elk I had spotted. On my way up, I looked down the draw and there were 4 cows at about 300 yards heading straight to me

Without a second thought, I slung my backpack off and upright onto the ground and sat down on my butt. Looking back, I surprised myself how my mind knew exactly what to do without me thinking about it.

My already short Kuiu frame pack was even shorter as I was shooting down hill. For a moment, I thought to myself to try stacking toes (or stacking feet, don’t remember the correct terminology lol). I decided that was too low as well so I scooted back a bit which allowed me to lean further forward, solving my elevation problem.

The elk continued to walk toward me as I followed them with my crosshairs. I had my rifle c clamped to my backpack with my hand. The lead cow stopped and turned broadside at about 220 yards and I squeezed off a shot. Was a good hit. I racked the bolt quickly. In the heat of the moment, I hadn’t heard the tikka mag shoot out the bottom of the stock and I loaded what I thought was another round. Squeezed and then CLICK. Click I thought, how the hell did that happen?

I pulled my head off the stock and saw my mag sitting in a pile of dirt. My next thought was to grab my spare loaded mag in my pocket (I know, should’ve in the bino harness). I slammed it in and ran the bolt home. Cow had only taken a step or two at this point and I proceeded to put two more into her before she dropped. 3 total shots, 3 hits. One in the shoulder, 1 in the lungs and one just below the heart

This cow hunt was nearly 2 weeks ago and I’ve ran through the scenario multiple times since. I can’t honestly say what I would’ve done in that situation without S2H skills. Likely tried to somehow get prone (not an option) as that was my crutch before class.

Before the class, I never looked at my pack as a viable shooting rest. Nor did I ever carry a loaded spare mag

The tikka mag shooting out the bottom was a one off. I think I may have not had it seated all the way or pulled the tab with my pack as I fired the first shot.

S2H provided me with the rifleman education I was lacking. The countless hours practicing at home from positions other prone, made it second nature.
