[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1322017, member: 96226"] I think I might have a leg up on the normal guy here with the shooting proficiency advice. That's not to say for a second that I won't run out tonight, build me a pair of sticks and start practicing daily, c'mon, the shot of a lifetime... don't miss. That said, I'm a competitive shooter in high power and smallbore metallic silhouette. We take all of our shots offhand, unsupported no slings or gloves or jackets. I'm totally used to standing up in what are street clothes with what looks like a hunting rifle (they're all single shot) under time pressure even in the worst imaginable weather where you only get 1 shot at each target. They don't cancel matches on account of rain or wind or heat, only fog. The sticks will only make things better for me. Thanks for that tip! It's the little things that make for a successful trip. I'll be going for greater kudu, blue hartebeest, bontebok, eland. My outfitter will be loaning me a rifle. He has a nice selection, I trust he'll select something appropriate to recommend. [/QUOTE]
