[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 190559, member: 2011"] Shorty's only happen once in awhile. Treat him good! [B][COLOR=RoyalBlue]"Was a little excited to not notice the horse being so close. " [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=RoyalBlue][COLOR=Black] Yeah, we are at the moment, we think, calm cool and collected. However, it ain't the way it is. Again be thankful for shorty. My 12 pounder with the heavy front end pretty lousy off the knees. I'd say I would at least consider a shot not further than maybe 200 yards. I have a set of shooting sticks that are super trustworthy at any distance with a 10 pound sporter with sporter fore end. I regularly shoot 1K prone with it in 338 RUM. But with the heavy front ended rifle and wider flat forend, it looses its uniqueness and things start flopping around. I make my own bipods but they are not compatible with horse back hunting. It would take a bit of time, during the heat of the moment to mount it. Don't need another thing to worry about right then.;) Also, my horses have been too tall, and I'm to short to have tried shooting over the saddle thing. It would work for up hill though.:rolleyes: [/COLOR][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
