Help Support Long Range Hunting Forum
I picked up the Gen 3 trigger sticks after watching one of your videos. Solid piece of field kit I gotta say. One leg out front, two to the rear and leaned into the front leg of the triangle makes a pretty stable standing position. I see there is also a monopod version. I'm thinking a bit faster deployment when speed counts over max stability?
Trust me, it will still happen...........Stop offering such practical advice!No way are we going to get to 10 pages of veered off course pontification now!
Maybe the fact that the rifles you use are heaviet with less recoil can be the reason for poi remaining the same? Just guessing
That's what i tought but still many shooters seem to switch from bipod to backpack even at long distances
That's the only test that will matter at the end, unfortunately my ranges don't allow shooting prone
Thanks. Very interesting
Ahahahah that's true, but making the test without a range that allows it and without a bipod (which i am not sure if I will buy) it's not easyStop offering such practical advice!
You can not practice where you hunt ? I did read where you stated it takes an hour to get there. But it may be worth it. And this will give you time to scout your area. And possibly setup a blind if allowed ? I am not sure on your regulations where you hunt or if you are allowed to access the property before you go hunting. I have only hunted the US and in Pennsylvania. My knowledge on this subject is lacking for sure in other States & countries. Hope to learn more on here as time goes.
Ok so. I always trainer and tried my rifle before going to hunt and also between one hunt and the other i recheck zero, especially if the rifle took a beating. That said, I have always kept distances pretty low (max 300 yards or a little more) so I always used the zero i got from a bench in a national shooting range close to my house. For this setup i will need to go to the longer range and I will try the setup with different shooting positions and rests since I will shoot roes up to 500 meters (and roes are much smaller than a whitetail). I was just trying to get some thoughts before eventually buy the bipod and also to evaluate the height of the bipod. But at the end I will have to try it out, i think I will start with a harris 6-9 and see if it works well for me. We can access the hunting area when we want since it's public land but we can't shoot unless we are on a hunt and with an animal in the crosshair
I'd suggest starting with a 9 - 13"O

We are lucky because we have basically unlimited tags and the hunting season for selective hunting is almost 8 months/year but there are also some downsides of course
