[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2019119, member: 103303"] It's a tricky question. Without knowing the terrain, you are going to get a bunch of answers. A good rule of thumb is getting as low to the ground as possible, but that's not always ideal if it exposes the shooting position. I've been hunting around fence posts for a while and for me the 3 ingredients are; -Backpack -bivy sack -shooting sticks (or walking sticks in the steep) Backpack/bivvy sac makes a great front/rear rest combo when prone is possible. Shooting sticks out front with pack in the rear really opens up the options around vegetation, especially when a guy wants to stay down lower in the terrain and avoid exposing a silhouette above the horizon. Bivvy sac travels in the top of the pack to bulk it up. Pack fills the gap between my right leg and right armpit in such a way that the rifles buttstock can rest on the pack. [/QUOTE]
