[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1896230, member: 12443"] Well like you, we have been experimenting with different types of shooting rests for many years. What might work pretty well for practice shooting at rocks or some type of target, wont necessarily work well when used for hunting. And especially in locations with lots of trees where within a few steps an animal can disappear from sight. The only way to prevent that is to never lose sight of it in the scope during recoil. And that requires free but controlled movement of the rifle during recoil so that the target isnt lost, even for a short period of time. Its especially critical if the animal has been hit on the first shot and takes off running that it isnt lost from the view of the shooter. Especially so without the assistance of a spotter, which im assuming many hunters dont use. These things just dont stand around waiting till you get your stuff back together for a follow up shot like a gong plate will. We hear the nay sayers preaching about not taking shots at animals we arent absolutely sure of, but what about follow up shots, shouldnt we be sure about those also? [/QUOTE]
