[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2882472, member: 61747"] This is the focus for me at the long range hunting school I help instruct. 90% of the focus is on field conditions and positional shooting. Use of front and rear support devices, being creative with the obstacles for solid rifle foundation, knowing the limits of each. Breaking all that down is bipod, tripod, backpack, shooting sticks, natural features (trees, branches, rocks, logs, etc) buddy support, prone to standing. For me there are really not secrets to success in the field, it's more about education and thinking outside the box. When I shot PRS matches I learned you can use a lot of variation to engage the target and be successful. Observing some of our top shooters approach each stage in different ways was educational and I took those variations and applied to worked best for me. When instructing, some big guys just can't do what I do so we modify it to fit their body shape. Most everyone is able to engage 10x10 plates out to 800 in the first day with solid fundamentals. By the end of day 2 I focus the students on first round impacts under some time constraints and stress to see if they can still engage with high levels of accuracy. With proper practice and positional technique I feel 1000 is reasonable. I do this all winter chasing coyotes and wolves. [/QUOTE]
