[QUOTE="palerider3, post: 1571540, member: 82117"] Your best resource for learning to shoot from unconventional positions like this is probably going to be your local PRS club. Spend some time shooting PRS style field matches and this stuff will become second nature to you. Using a backpack or your sleeping bag to help with your body position can help quite a bit, as well as finding a way to put some tension on your trekking poles / shooting sticks. I have used shooting sticks and or trekking poles before, but now I do a lot of glassing with binos on a tripod and very much prefer to shoot off my bino tripod. Killed an elk a few years ago at 795 using my glassing tripod to get me above the sage brush and hugging my backpack to steady the rear of the rifle. A skill I picked up shooting LR matches. Give PRS a try sometime. It doesn't have to be all about 25lb 6mm "gamer guns", it can be a great tool for the LR Hunter. [/QUOTE]
