[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 660240, member: 30902"] If I'm shooting off of a bipod at any range I'll loop the sling around my elbow so it's putting tension on my forearm and bicep creating something of a tripod effect. Remember I have side mounted QD slingmounts to carry and I'll just pop the front one out and put it on the bottom side in a more traditional mount style when I set up for a shot. You'd be surprised at how much extra stability it gives you. If I have a chance to really bag up it wouldn't be necessary or very workable. I'd never take a thousand yard shot or farther unless I could really get set up properly. Ideally I'd have bags under and on bothsides of the fore part of the stock and either rear bags or the accupod deployed on the rear. In that case My left arm is just like your's hooked under the rifle. Now if I could just set up in a "nest" as a long range blind for most of my LR shooting it would be set up with the bags. Most of my longest range shooting though comes when I'm having to improvise because I'm not blind hunting but working ridges and plateaus on Antelope or Muley hunts. In those cases packing sand bags along just isn't an option. [/QUOTE]
