[QUOTE="Sidesy, post: 417586, member: 26417"] hi, i have made a wooden support so i dont over-reach when shooting from the drivers seat (rhs dont forget) through passenger window. I then have my right elbow on steering wheel and my left elbow on center console (raised in height with a window bag) works well i have been having an issue with trying to find "that" position from the driving seat after being a passenger for sooooo long [IMG]http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif[/IMG] To that end , after a little chat with my neighbour i came up with a solution that i hope may in turn may offer an answer for you aswell? My main problem was finding something that would be "easy" to take[I] in and out of the vehicle [/I]and wouldnt damage the inside or require the normal self tappers / gaffer tape[IMG]http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/IMG] .....then, to link it someway to the cars existing fittings / interior to provide a rock-solid platform. I used 3" x 2" wood as it was stood in the garage but i'm sure there will be a whole medium of other stuff you may have that will do the job as well or , better[IMG]http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif[/IMG] The whole project hinges around using the bars of the headrest to provide a substantial fix.

If you have a headrest in your vehicle then this may be the answer.......[IMG]http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif[/IMG] Hope this helps someone[IMG]http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif[/IMG] Gary [/QUOTE]
