Shooting positions and Yoga lesson

[Cliff Gray]

Some thoughts on using flexibility within shooting positions.

I was always the last guy to get chosen for the team and started stretching at 35, so no excuses.

Many of these positions I learned to improve via Shoot2hunt classes with @Formidilosus

Stretching is so important and so overlooked

Great video, great tips. Thanks Cliff.
Are you keeping your poles stored at a specific length so they’re ready for a kneeling position?

Thanks @Cliff Gray
Working my way through your elk course.
I’ll add this to my shooting prep.
I really appreciate the video work that enables clear understanding.

I change the length of my poles a ton while hiking around rough terrain… my knees are all messed up. Short uphill, long down hill, short/long sidehilling . One thing nice about the single pole position is length doesn’t matter, you can clamp it in your hand where it needs to be. Even with both poles you can adjust them a lot by spreading them out, particularly in terrain/veg that you can get a bite in.

Main thing I really try to do… truthfully more often encouraging a client to do, is get things to the right length and ready to go before the last chunk of any stalk. A guy can even sit down and check everything once, before he proceeds past the last piece of cover on a stalk.

Glad it’s helpful.
I’ve got a big revamp going on the elk course. You’ll have access to all the new stuff too. I’m just perpetually behind at the moment.
