When hunting, what do you use for a front rest?

For 'yote hunting it's the long Harris. I can't remember the height, but it telescopes long enough to sit on your rear & shoot... shot a buck or two this way also... have a Harris 9-13 swivel style also that has worked well.

I just got my first Atlas... I am in LOVE. QD style... now I have to consider updating all of my rifles to a Pic rail on the forend!

BTW, they are making new feet for the Atlas in case those of you who use them didn't know, looks kinda like a spike sticking out there. Designed to create better holds in hard dirt, snow,ice ect....
 
Outlaw, Thast is what I have been doing. The Seeking SRS RAIL is nice w/ sling hole built in, lower profile. I have set my Atlas up in a log jamb to shoot from, being able to move legs both directions.

I haven't seen that rail yet, better look into it. Being able to move the legs like that holds a LOT of value to me. These things are really bad a$#, I'm running it on a McRees stock right now, it came with a rail section to bolt on.... Thanks for the heads up on the rail, you have me curious now... If you have a pic post it or PM it to me!

Lol... So, you can imagine my surprise when I Google Seeking & come up with an investment sight.... no wonder i've never heard of it! lol

Seekins is good stuff, now that i've heard of... :D
 
For 40 years I used logs, rocks, trees, my elbow, knee, window and various other high tech rests. I now use a Harris Bipod, the shorter one. Takes the stress out of looking for the right stump!
 
I have had my son out quite a bit. I was working threw timber,saw elk fur , dropped to my knees, pointing. And the barrel slid up on my shoulder, elk was motionless, looking over his shoulder,and I WAITED........As bull spun out I saw he was 6 on one side. My boy never picked him out until to late, he was right on break of the ridge. Has worked other times. I had a tag in my pack
 
When in a treestand, facing tree type, I screw in ladder holders on both sides of tree for a forearm rest. then I can shoot with just my one hand, I NEVER lay a hand on the scope or barrel or any other part of the gun. but as a rule of thumb anything is better than nothin!!!!!
