    Nice shot!
    I've had trouble with sticks as well. I must say for that range though I'd try too
    1 find a place closer that has a better platform to shoot from.
    2 have a go with those quod shooting sticks.
    3 more practice off sticks
    Nar go back to one our off ya truck
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    The animal was just starting to move when the shot was taken and walked into the bullet. Poor thing


    Nice shooting. The 300wm seems to be a caliber that lately is getting a lot of attention LR shooting. Certainly has a selection of good projectiles to suit many different applications.
    I was going to go 7mm for a dedicated LR steel rig but might have to do some more procrastinating

    I take it you'd need to pick a sheltered spot to park doc.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
