Great shooting.

Wondering what hunting position you are referring to.

Thanks.
I’m using a bipod and turkey chair. I can go out walking then get in the chair when shooting. It seems to work to 500y. I’m gonna try to get it to600y but it might not be possible.

That's pretty fine shooting using that equipment, I am happy to hit a coyote in the chest at 300 with sticks and a chair.

No kidding. I was thinking you were probably shooting prone.

Hats off to you sir!

I don’t shoot prone as it makes me sore. The chair is a harder to shoot from. But being able to have my head up to see what’s coming in is nice. Then not much movement to range dial and shoot. Next time out I’m going to try 500 and 600. I’ll post results.

Good shooting. Field condition practice makes good hunts! What gun are you using ?
