Personal limits shooting off sticks standing

[Rilow]

What's some of your guys distance limits shooting off bipod shooting sticks while standing. Mine seems to be around 160yds at 10in gong.

Im about 200yd. I take a wide stance an lean into my sticks a little bit to help stabilize things

Try using a sling coupled with a caribiner, hooked to your belt. If you bring the sling down the front of the sticks, then back towards your body you can provide some counterpressure and some find it more stable.

Thanks I'll have to try some of this advice. Been shooting different field positions getting ready for a hunt this fall

R, a tripod shooting stick helped a lot and it makes a good walking stick.

250-300yds on 10" steel. The key for me is good downward and rearward pressure on the sticks. That seems to help stabilize everything.

I shot a moose at 430 yards leaning against a tree...and I missed a fox at 40 yards clamped into a tripod (standing)...so I'd say it depends but a good goal would be to be confident at 200 yards on a deer size target

It really depends on the stick and if you have rear support or not. Bipod standing sticks are not stabile so I use a sling to my belt or a trigger stick for the rear. I've shot 10x10 at 500 with good success.

today I use a tripod with arca rail and have shot 1000 on 20x20 steel and had good results. With rear support on a standing tripod I feel you can do pretty decent that way.

Something to look at might be the pillow esq bags PRS shooters use. Might be helpful in getting the rear of the gun more supported to help extend your range

Depending on the particular rifle, and type of shooting sticks, I'm good for a 10" target size at 250-300 yards. If available, I will always opt for a sitting position.

As a USMC Grunt Hogsaddle, bipod, and sling make shooting to some impressive LR possible. More importantly shooting with the system on a regular basis is critical to develop critical muscle memory and improve all the fundamental shooting elements for accurately . SEMPER FIDELIS

I shot an Elk at 500 yds off the sticks and a mule deer at 475. Neither time is that the shot I was hoping for, I'm much more a 100-150 yd. kind of guy by choice, but that's all that presented itself so I made it work. My PH in Africa actually gave me a tip that really helped....get a solid rest on the sticks, not wobbly or uneven and pull down firmly on the fore end as you aim and line up the shot. As you start to pull down, take a deep breath then let it out slowly until you have about 1/2-2/3 of your air remaining in your lungs. That little pressure seems to really steady things up for about 10 seconds, then you have to start over. Obviously the sticks have to be pretty solid to handle the downward pressure and weight of the rifle.
