[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 3053531, member: 127412"] He’s using match ammo. If he was using “hunting ammo,” he would have fared much better for a “hunting” challenge. 😂 Great video, great challenge. Thanks for sharing [USER=118823]@bluedog69[/USER]. Mike the Marine was indeed a good sport. Backfire pointed out a couple of things I was thinking as well. Brake and rear support would have helped. When I started shooting with brakes, my life got way easier. Soon I’ll be shooting suppressed and I think that will be great too. I did learn something that I knew already…but I suppose I’ve been lazy to adapt and master. Those fancy reticles we have on our fancy scopes can range targets. This would have come in handy for the target hiding in the brush. I’ll admit I would have done the same as Mike in that situation. Perhaps it’s time I get good with the reticle too. While Backfire says a tripod is the way to go…I’ll disagree for big game hunting. I’m not packing that thing around. Probably great for coyote hunting. Trekking poles that double as shooting sticks will help get you off the ground. Plus, provide a solid platform for your rangefinder. I’d like to see more shots requiring more up or downhill shooting in the challenge. That’s something I face often in the steep ground of western MT. It certainly can be an added challenge. I’ll be the first to admit I’ve missed animals out in field. It sucks, but better than a crappy hit I suppose. [/QUOTE]
