[QUOTE="nomadhunter, post: 1147842, member: 93353"] So, I pay close attention to various LR hunting shows on my favorite Outdoor channel and Sportsman channel; along with this site and I am learning some things. It's a pleasure watching and reading about the success in the field. So, I am new to LR; I read a current post about anti - canting devices and the treads that follow the post and it all makes sense. With that stated, I watched more than a few well experienced Ultra LR hunters using field type rifle rests (pods or rest of some sort) for shots as close to 200 yards-really? honestly, how humble, truly. I, up to this point in my hunting years, have been a short range kind of hunter (up to 200) and fill my tags. Now, from the woods to the open high desert I go, hence my interest in extending my range, say, 500 yards - max for starts. My experience eye balling deer, in the high desert, at LR, is that they're reasonably unaware or concerned about my presence until I get to about 300 yards, then they boogie. So, I suppose a pod/shooting rest is in order up to and beyond 300 yards, but what is the best one for portage and ease of set - up; that is durable and light weight, since I am an off road, spot and stalk kind of hunter. Any suggestions is appreciated. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
