[QUOTE="bman73, post: 613687, member: 31591"] I am leaving for my first ever elk hunt in 4 days, slightly delayed because I pushed a head gasket on my truck and ended up buying a new truck instead of fixing the old one. I have been asked to allow my hunt to be filmed for a hunting video that will be on sale sometime this year, they would like to get a long range(well long range for these parts anyways) kill shot on film, I fooloishly agreed to it right away. This will be my first long range hunt and because this is the first timeI have a self imposed a limit of 700 yrds, I am worried about the extra pressure of having it filmed while I am doing something for the first time and was wondering what a lot of you guys do to try to help calm yourselves before taking the shots some of you guys are making. I am shooting a 110ba in .338 Lapua with the 300 grn gen 2 bergers so the gun department is not an issue, I have been doing a lot of shooting lately, just did 45 rounds yesterday and am just under 1MOA................ at the range, now don't get me wrong here, I'm not scared of whats coming but am concerned with the excitement and pressure of having it filmed screwing with my head. Any and all suggestions appreciated [/QUOTE]
