[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1528221, member: 104437"] Just got back from Arizona,.. I used my shooting "Sticks", the wood Hunters Specialties type, to shoot my Bull Elk. using my pack, on my Chest, to REST/ STEADY, the Rifles "Toe" in the sitting position on the side of a snowy hill. Sticks work great for, shooting over Grass and Sage brush, on hillsides with, the Pack under the toe,.. very precise if, you practice a bit and "push" the Pack upwards, towards your head with your foot/leg to get rifle steady. My shot, was about, 2 inches behind the Elk's shoulder/ leg "crease", after impact, 2 "jumps", dead Elk ! I was hitting our 10" dia. steel plate, 5 times, in a row with this method, at 350-400 Yards in practice. If I had to shoot, more than 400-450 yd's I'd shoot PRONE, over my Pack, with a Holland Field Bag, as a "toe" rest. I carry my Pack, with, a Days supply of water/ Snack's, Elk Qtr bags, Para-cord, Knife, Hunt Spec "sticks" hooked on it and the Pack is "filled up" with a rolled up, Thermarest sleeping Pad, with my Puffy Jacket, etc., in it, so that, I'm also ready, to shoot Prone, if necessary. I'm using, a Kifaru Gun Bearer to hold rifle on the Pack and I Hike with Hiking/walking sticks for stability in rocky areas and wood, blow downs. I can pull the Rifle out of the Gun Bearer, remove Pack and poke my Rifle thru sticks in about One Minute and get scope "on", an animal ( takes practice, tho !) My son shot a nice 6X6 Bull in Idaho 3 weeks ago at 250 yds, using Hunter Spec "sticks", too ! YUP,.. those wood "sticks" are,..DEADLY ! Hope this helps ! [/QUOTE]
