[QUOTE="Caveman0101, post: 1673259, member: 10852"] My other nugget of wisdom I'd like to bestow to newbies: always go prone with a bipod when shooting an animal at distance. If not pass on the shot. I don't care what type of rest you buy, short of the ones they use for PRS matches, you will not be steady enough to shoot past 400 yards or so. I've had to prove this time and again to guys who go by the Caldwell tripod rest (or the like) and think they're going to stand up and shoot accurately out past 500 yards with one. Until you can hit a moa size target every time at whatever distance you decide is in your range you should not be shooting at animals. And whatever distance you stop hitting the target every time, well that is your range, until your capabilities improve. [/QUOTE]
