[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 607178, member: 8873"] Yeah I might pick fun a little here and there but who is to argue with this couple's, the Davidson brothers, or others like Thompson Long Range (that sent me one of their videos) successes. From what I can tell the hosts of EOL don't seem to use bipods and shoot over their pack from the episodes I've seen. From what I remember of the NightForce and Berger commercials they are in, he is shooting with a front and rear rest (bag?) off a bench. I've seen Mike Davidson of Long Range Pursuit recommend to people position your body at an angle behind the rifle and not in line with it, says to keep your chest off the ground and keep your heart beat from interfering. In the video from Thompson LR he recommends using a taller bipod and laying on your pack. Now this can be utilized to get up over vegetation, but he says to support your chest and keep your elbows off the ground. I'm one of those guys that say the closer to the ground the more stable, but in a hunting situation unless you set up your own ambush site it's very rarely perfect conditions to lay low prone with a rear bag settled straight behind the rifle. After getting my drops from prone with a bipod/sand-sock I like to shoot from alternates. Maybe that's what these folks have going for them, shooting from what some of us consider less then ideal positions/rests. I'll give them one thing, they make it look easy. [/QUOTE]
