[QUOTE="dgheriani, post: 2022007, member: 107559"] I'm in the mountains of BC and a tripod is the key. The terrain makes it very unlikely that you can prone out. I've used tripods for years in long range rifle matches and it's just a no-brainer to bring one along when I hunt. The one I use for matches I can confidently make hits (with the correct wind call) on 12" targets from the standing position out to just about 1000 yards. The tripod I carry for hunting is a lot lighter and doesn't have as nice a head on it but I pretty much always try and setup for a seated shot and it's dead stable like that. You don't necessarily need rear support when using a tripod if your rifle is sitting on it's balance point. I'll generally try and pull my pack up on my lap to stabilize my firing elbow but it's not always necessary [/QUOTE]
