Shot setup practice during hunt

[mad_angler]

Does anyone practice rifle setups?

Let's say you about done glassing for the morning. Before you leave, you pick a tree about 400 yards away and get you rifle all set (front rest. Back rest, etc). Then, maybe you pick a tree way higher than you and go through the same exercise.

It seems like that would be very helpful for us folks from the Midwest..

It certainly wouldn’t hurt, anything you can do to visualize what a scenario might look like is good practice, and maybe see where your weaknesses are, because anything under stress and on the clock is going to be more of a cluster if it’s a foreign situation

Dry fire practice is always valuable. Go through the entire process, but pick a spot on a tree or a section of dirt, rock, etc.. that is the same size as your target's vitals.
