[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 1078801, member: 6452"] I agree with RockyMtnMT. I have never seen a bench in the field while hunting. I practice mostly off my shooting sticks or laying down off my backpack. These are the two rests I have ever been able to use in the field. A bipod is absolutely useless for me 90% of the time in areas where I hunt. Sagebrush turns bipods in to unnecessary weight to lug around. I read about 1/2 MOA or better groups on thei forum all the time and take them with a grain of salt. I have developed several loads off a bench that routinely shot cloverleafs at 100 yards but I have not shot 100 yards or off a bench in ages. I have a 12" square gong, if I can not regularly hit it at a yardage I will absolutely not take a shot at an animal that far. At 600 yards that is a 2 MOA target, inside of 600 it only gets bigger. Groups don't mean anything to me. I believe it was Shawn Carlock who said he would only shoot at animals at ranges where he would be absolutely flabbergasted if he missed. I totaly agree, if you are not 110% confident of a first round hit at a certain yardage that is your limit. Groups don't mean squat. I like to practice by playing a game like skeet. I set my gongs up and move around the field varying the yardage and angles to the target. Hitting the 600 yard target seated off shooting sticks is a test for me and my equipment. [/QUOTE]
