[QUOTE="jeephunter, post: 1249159, member: 98700"] The problem I have with this sitting position is that I have a long torso and shortish arms. When I put my elbows on my thighs I can't get my neck/head into a position to see through the scope... I was thinking of using the pack to give me a bit more height so I can straighten my back out a bit but will need to experiment. Hoping others have some experience or tools to make this better. Also taking 1 shot is ok in any position but often while hunting it's a waiting game. Waited 3 hrs for a bedded deer to stand up and could only see him through the scope and then only had a few seconds of shot opportunity or I'm watching a bedded deer behind high foliage then hope he gets up and walks through a clearing. This page seems to have some good tips: [url]https://www.gunwerks.com/blogs/long-range-magazine/shooting-positions[/url] I just need recommendations for what tripod to get. The one he has seems pretty good... [/QUOTE]
