Super quick.......just put one strap through the other and over the grip. Takes seconds and you can adjust them to whatever you like.
After using both, I prefer the strap method and also use the straps for climbing and descending.

Yes, surprising how steady sitting and using trekking poles (old man mountain canes) are.
Fwiw, I did have the wiser quick sticks when I first shot this way but quickly ditched them as I had way more flexibility in just using the poles with interlaced grip straps.

Randy

I need to find mine and see how this works. I've always used dedicated shooting sticks but this would be a good solution if I can figure out how to just use the grip straps on trekking poles.

Anyone able to share the link of the video Form mentioned of him in the Rokstok thread manipulating the rear bag? Tried searching but came up empty.

I know it’s in that thread I just can’t find it. Tried searching keywords but couldn’t pin it down. Was just hoping someone remembered where is was exactly.

Re the bag podcast.

I don’t know the last time you used a game changer, but the smaller ones now have a fill spout. You can empty and fill them with whatever and you can keep them at the perfect near shapeless fill through the life of the fabric. They don’t get super light with the provided fills but you could easily fill it with foam beads if that’s what your into. I keep mine empty enough that I can use it about anywhere.

Only downfall of them is AG ships them waxed pretty well and they take some break in.

I don’t even want a bag without a fill spout to adjust fill level. They almost never come just right, and after years and moisture almost always end up with too little.

I haven’t used one heavily in a while. The Gamechanger is Probably the best gamer bag made regardless, just not a hunting one for me.

When will the targets be available and what website? S2h or unknown?

If I'm hunting out of my climber or ladder stand I'm bringing my gamechanger. Huge difference in stability. I'm usually not carrying it very far though.

@Formidilosus is there a step by step layout somewhere already, for the drill you had Jake shoot, that you talked about on the recent podcast? I believe it was 21 total shots from various positions.

It’s a modified version of @Carl Ross Hunting Rifle Drill.

Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

This isn’t in response to anyone I particular, but there is an up tick in the amount of “I want a XXXX distance hunting rifle” traffic the last few months. I am getting a lot of questions relating to this, which I do not mind helping, but thought a public post might help answer some questions...

Awesome. Thank you.

Speaking from experience, I could barely hold MOA of deer, seated unsupported last year lol. Could not believe how unsteady that was

 

[Castle Rock]

I taught my kids the principles of marksmanship 99% in the sitting unsupported position
That was a conscious decision because it is stable enough to shoot consistently and learn a sound technique but doesn’t rely on props like a bench or prone supported
They have become very good shooters and have impressed may good shooters with their skill

 

[IrkedCitizen]

I think this latest podcast with Carl might have been my favorite thus far. The ones in the past have been informative and entertaining but this one was solid dialog. I enjoyed it

Thanks for the FF @Formidilosus
Fantastic usable and to the point info. No time wasted. Love it.

@Formidilosus

The dogs and I listened to your current FF on non-prone shooting positions in the dark in camp on a ridge @7200’ tonight in southern New Mexico. Nice timing as we are doing 200-600ish yard field practice tomorrow. Great resources. Please keep them coming.

 

[pbroski]

This morning I listened to the FF podcast about field shooting positions. I have shot many times from sitting supported with a set of sticks for the front, but never using sticks and a pack to support the rear.

I decided to give it a try today with my Howa Mini .223 with NXS 2.5-10x42 and 73 gr. ELD-M, H4895 powder, Lapua brass and CCI400 primers.

10 shots at 200 yards. Fired 5 shots, broke position, then fired second set of 5. I need to work on my horizontal stability.
