[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1931509, member: 101791"] Standing is the worst position of all, but at times has to be done or don't shot (hard choice). Longer the yards the worst it gets. I learn to move to a point I can rest my rifle forearm on something, again, or use a shooting stick "tripod". Study the forearm by placing the rifle against a tree or over a branch on a rock. Anything that's naturally provides. Sitting if able too. Laying down in brush doesn't work very good. Can't see over the tops of the brush to shot especlly on flat land. Elk move quickly through the trees, and you loose them on a few yards. They walk quicker than you think. I hunt public lands, with everybody else. Mule deer I don't carry a round in the chamber, but elk I relearn to do. I've shot elk running, standing, and walking in timber and open areas. All were in Colo. in the third season. Changes bolt action type to lock down the bolt when carrying a round in the chamber. Being left handed and carrying on left side, you can move the safety off on rifles, Like Rem 721 or 700. Good luck! SSS [/QUOTE]
