First common sense would say it’s pretty hard to draw a bow laying on your belly so there’s that.
Hopefully you don’t care if you get ridiculed for not sneaking up and poking it with your fixed bayonet either. Apparently any further than that and you aren’t a real hunter.
Speak for yourself.
Not in the least.
I’ve shot with @cal30_sniper just one time and he shot off hand more than anyone else that day. So… You have zero clue that what you accuse people of, is complete bullshit.
Yeah, but next year we’re on for the prone archery session. Don’t forget!
Dad hunted that way for decades. About ten years ago, a neighbor showed us his bog pod. No death grip. Just a tripod with a cradle. Dad immediately went home and ordered himself one. Soon after I got my own. It most definitely tipped the odds further in our favor. It’s quick to deploy if needed and you can always take the offhand shot if needed. For youth and inexperienced hunters it’s a lifesaver. I wouldn’t say neither of us head into the field without it, but if we’re hunting together it’s rare that one of the two of us doesn’t have a set.
I've shot over 1k rounds of 22LR in the last 2 months from prone, prone with bipod, seated, kneeling, standing, and off a tripod while shooting steel at 50 to 95 yards. Of that 1k less than 50 have been prone. Around 400 rounds have been open sights, 400 scoped, and 200 from a green dot. I like to shoot. It calms my mind after a long day. I even got a rimfire suppressor to make my practice just like the real thing. In the last 2 weeks I also shot around 200 rounds combined of 223, 22 ARC, 6 ARC, and 6CM between new guns, new scopes, and new ammo. Most of that was prone to get speeds and check for accuracy or shooting at 500 yards. With centerfire cartridges I don't even get excited about shooting prone with a centerfire until 500 yards. 300 yards is pretty easy for seated, kneeling, or tripod. 200 is doable on demand when offhand both supported and freestanding but not my preferred way to shoot game so I don't practice it a whole lot with centerfire rifles.
Not too much of the sauce. Just making a comparison... Always cracked me up. How many folks on here will not shoot a rifle from anything but a rock solid rest....But pick up a bow? Free hand that shit and even if you loose the animal, take a pic of the notched tag and it's e-hugs for days
Very interesting how defensive folks got when asked about shooting offhand though...Very interesting
Curious, are you throwing your hand grenades from offhand or prone?
