Learn to shoot via the three basic techniques. Makes for a better hunter/shooter. Besides, less weight to lug around. My two cents. MTG

He has health issues that are making that a challenge, what part aren't you getting ? It's better that he gets out and enjoys himself, than sit home and not go hunting.

All in all (and thanks for all of the advice and keying me in different brands.

I extended the window ledge benching on our deer blind build we completed recently.

Doubling the 2x12 to (11.25x2). This east view is only 150-160 max yard. The west windows offer a 250 yard shot zone and much further out after the boxelders drop the leaves across the stream riparian.

I’m still going to get a pod, I see many reasons for it.

Slight work-around, have also dropped down to using a .223 with 70 gr Barnes in a new bolt rifle rig.

Vascular surgeon cautioned me about direct recoil contact over this securement and access.

I haul the primos trigger sticks all over the place when I take the kids. They can make good hits standing with them. Total pia taking the sticks up and down steep timber but when they need them, i will be glad I hauled it.

If I lived close by I'd be your gun bearer. Maybe even gut and drag dead animals as well.

Good on you for getting after it still.

I need Arca in my life.

It really is the way to go, probably adds another 100 yds in effective range and much faster than the Hog saddle or other clamping system. Clamped in, with my backpack in my lap filling the void is almost as stable as going prone with a rear bag. The rails aren't very expensive and can be quickly removed.

The bag on the tripod also works very well, is very quick and actually more stable that then standard "U" shaped" rest. I strap the bag to the "handle" on my Mystery Ranch Pop-Up38 which also makes a heck of a rest while sitting.
