Picture taken off Google but I am using the same idea with a used 10/22 stock. About any wood stock should work. ![[Linked Image]](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A6KVCRMsUPM/TfOKow-eBnI/AAAAAAAAAO4/34inu25MqHE/s1600/Stedi-Stock.jpg) I just discovered they sell these. I paid five bucks for a used take off stock years ago. http://www.amazon.com/Stedi-Stock-Shoulder-Stabilizer-Spotting/dp/B0014007YE

but what I'm looking for are any tricks guys have come with to minimize wind jiggle while using them. Set up out of the wind. Should be possible in most places, barring North Dakota.  Never been to Rock Springs, Wyoming, have ya?

Not much a guy can do in strong wind. I couldn't read a guy's license plate dumping a pickup full of trash once from under a 1/4 mile for the wind, using a good window mount.
He didn't know I couldn't, and you shoulda seen him get that rope tied back and fly outta there. We tried to catch him and couldn't come close. He had a Ford V8 and I was in Toyota 4 banger.

Isn't it a biotch hauling around that bale of hay?
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

My tricks for spotting scopes?
Well, my most successful one so far is to first find a rifle, and then look right above the receiver.
But if I catch you using that one, now, I want some credit.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867

I use an onion bag and put in as many rocks as I need.
If you hunt with Ingwe, make him get new rocks each setup.

Some tripods have a hook under the head where a guy can attach a weight to increase stability. Dirty sock full of rocks or something along those lines works well. Think field expedient. Exactly what I do. I have a small net laundry bag that you can put some rocks in, and attach to the hook. Works like a champ.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
