[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 170779, member: 1133"] Len-- i hunt all the time from the sitting position using a specialty handgun, but i've got a couple tricks that i use with a stadium seat that helps a lot. The 1st thing i do is to reattach the female end of the Fastex snap so it's closer to the seat itself. If u look at them they're not really close enuf to get a tight cinch when sitting in them--that's not enuf back support for accurate sitting positiopn shooting using a tall Harris bipod. Once that's accomplished i attach another snap at the ends of the cinch straps. This allows me to attach the seat around my waist tightly for carrying ease. Take a look at it closely--u'll see what i mean. Once these 2 things are accomplished the stadium seat will become one of your most important field shooting resources, with the added benefit of being able to use it as a shooting mat as well. Also if u can add some more closed cell foam in the seat--helps a lot when u're old farts like us. I also put the whole thing inside a burlap bag that's had holes cut in it for the straps, etc. for a great camo effect. Mike (Yotefever) does even more with his. Longest shot i ever made was with a seated position handgun--906 yds. on a coyote. It's actually quite steady with the front of the pistol grip pushed into the knees sitting in a stadium seat with the tall Harris. I've never loaded the bipod either--i just squeeze the sandbag as best i can under the pistol grip from the bench--but then i'm not attempting benchrest comps. with the rigs i use. Try to keep your wrist straight as u shoot, or at the least stay consistent with whatever system u adopt, of course. [/QUOTE]
