I agree. After the gack, we need to shoot.

I think one good way to practice field positions is to make it hard on yourself. For example, does anyone practice from the off hand position at 200-300 yards? Point is not that you will take that shot on an animal, but that it makes the same shot at 100 yards seem relatively easy.

Variations on this same theme are endless because BG animals show up in all kinds of conditions and circumstances,and the ability to hit from field positions can make a difference in your success.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
