[QUOTE="1894, post: 55934, member: 1958"] 90% of my deer are shot standing. This is either due to obstructions such as crops etc or safety. You require a reasonably weighted rifle - around 8.5-9lbs with a mid range scope and a darn good trigger (2-2.5lb)and a set of shooting sticks. Best are garden poles secured 6" from top by a vacuum cleaner drive band around them. I hold the forend resting on the v formed by the sticks, others rest the forend direct on the sticks. You will get shake - you have to get it so that the shake is in the vital area, then with good breathing you squeeze until the shot is released. I find it easier on game than on target. In the past month (a busy time for roe stalking) I have made sucessfull one shot kills on roe bucks at 200, 180 and 160yards plus lesser distances. I won't shoot a roe buck at 25yards without sticks.
