[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1039424, member: 34818"] A while ago, I used to shoot off of a bench that I had made and a rest. I don't do that anymore. I shoot every rifle that I have exactly the way that I would be if I were putting the crosshairs on an animal that I was going to harvest. Bipod and rear bag. I even sight my rifles in this way and even tested loads this way. Its pretty amazing how solid you can get with the right form while using a bipod and a rear bag. As for weather, if there is any rain or snow (I have only had to shoot at an animal in rain where I live), I will greatly reduce the distance at which I will shoot at the animal. You have to keep that ego in check and shoot within your capabilities! As for myself, I wouldn't take an animal that was over 400 yards in a good rain. This is because I just havn't practiced shooting further than that in the rain so I am not comfortable with it. But that is just me and I can only speak for myself. [/QUOTE]
