[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 249583, member: 8622"] Try just grabbing the rear sling swivel and sling in your weak-side hand, and making a fist. By squeezing your fist, you make some elevation adjustments, and shoot with some impressive accuracy. [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/slingguy06.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/JoshAR1501.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/equipment/Guyrange01.jpg[/IMG] A "woobie" or bean bag under the stock also works well. The kind with "ears" are particularly good, the weak side hand can squeeze the ears to make minor elevation changes as required. [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/equipment/handstop03.jpg[/IMG] My youngest son likes to shoot varmints with his 6mm Rem like this, and it works well for him: [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/chuckbuster01.jpg[/IMG] Or, like a good highpower shooter, you can just sling up and go for it! [IMG]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/hunting%20photos/Guymatch-1.jpg[/IMG] Seems like you're a bit concerned about getting off a quick follow-up shot. Not a bad skill at all. That's easier done with the buttstock in your shoulder and gripping the rifle conventionally, because, like a highpower shooter, you can just flick the bolt open and shut very quickly with your strong-hand fingers. It's a little slower to accomplish from prone/bipod, with the weak hand buried under the buttstock, but can be done fairly quickly with some practice. Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
