[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 877307, member: 1"] Todd, that was a very good account of the hunt. I agree, everyone seemed to have a great time. I enjoyed meeting a bunch of new friends. I'll post some pictures and make a few comments. I hope others will chime in with their own comments. First off, I want to say that Robb Wiley was the most knowledgeable outfitter about shooting that I have some across. He did an awsesome job at the rifle range set up for us to check our zeros. Here is a picture of him demonstrating a side hill shooting method that is the most significant new idea I've come across in a long time. Robb had told me on the phone that one of the most typical shot opportunities would be seated with shooting sticks across a canyon to the other side. So I had been practicing. But he taught us how to use the hillside for support of our shooting arm and shoulder. That made a HUGE improvement for me and the others who tried it. I am convinced I could shoot moa or better groups out to 700 yards or more by adding this support method to my seated shooting sticks technique. That is Robb seated next to the shooters. After checking zeros at 100 yards off of a sturdy bench, we were invited to shoot at rocks out to about 600 yards on the very steep hillside across the draw. There also was a 12x12 inch steel plate near the top at 600 yards. A couple of us hit the steel on our first shots from a goofy and awkward steep shooting position off the bench at 600 yds in a slight wind, giving us added confidence on the day before the hunt was to begin.
