Well, as you can see, that looks like a clear cut, in Canadian Boreal forest. & you can see, a very dead, Canadian buck. I may have used, anything I deemed necessary, to get the job done !

Hey OP, if this is purely about marksmanship, why put the thread in the big game forum ? & yes, I too, think you're a trolling dumbass ! Opinions are like [bleep]... and you are proof of that. If you can find an adult to help you with this thread, you will come to understand that it's RE: Field Marksmanship. Rifleman skills - neglected and ignored. So, don't get your man-bun in a twist, junior. Just try learning to shoot. GR Pretty sure I've got the field marksmanship thingy covered ! & this bald head, has never had enough hair for your bun comment ! With a girls rifle no less!!🤣😁🤣😁🤣😁

4MOA accuracy is what it is, and ain't what it ain't.
What it is: Satisfactory marksmanship for new recruits. Satisfactory accuracy for hitting a torso out to 300 yards, most of the time....where any hit is a good hit. A standard most recruits will be able to master in the limited time available in recruit training....
... It's no great feat to master. Certainly nothing to carry on about like Garand is doing.
... Your way is very basic, and with it come a lot of limitations. My gripe - is that all these want-a-be snipers can't even hold 4 MOA from field positions... period. ... and then are actually offended if one calls them on it. 4 MOA - will take even running game at 150 yards. 3 MOA - will take game to near 300. No sweat at all for basic rifleman skills, learned in two weeks, remember? They've created a cult, a marksmaplegic "snow-globe," where they don't have to. Fine by me, bein' simply the illumination of it. GR

GR I'd argue the whole rifle is a crutch. A real marksman hunts with one of these...

GR Pretty sure I've got the field marksmanship thingy covered ! & this bald head, has never had enough hair for your bun comment ! New 2 99s; Good afternoon my friend, I trust you and your fine family are well! That's a nice buck sir!! I'm not sure if you've posted it previously and I've just forgotten yet another detail or not... Maybe don't tell me okay? The day's been going good for me as I actually got through to Miramichi today and have an honest to goodness reference number from them on the transfer of all the restricted stuff in the safe that we're able to our daughter. Fingers crossed we get written approvals before Crown Prince Socks has another moment of brilliance, you know? I am so done with this group in power now, so very, very done. Anyways, it's been a decent day and you killed a very decent buck! Regarding the topic at hand, I'm not the shot on game I once was when I was in my '30's for sure. There was a time that a buddy said I was the fastest game shot he'd seen, but he doesn't say that anymore... for good reason. All the best. Dwayne

Ha, ha Dwayne, yes, posted before & it is my avatar !
Shot it, just off the old property, on Crown Land, in 2015.
As stated above, using Deb's Savage Lady Hunter in 7mm-08 & factory barnes vor-tx 120gr TTSX.
Same load for the bull moose, the year before.
Glad you got it done with the CFO !

Most guys that you're calling "wanna-be snipers" seem to take an interest in precision shooting and shrinking their group sizes from all positions. It's the guys I see running around with SKSs, burning through crates of ammo in an afternoon, that can't seem to shoot a 10 MOA group. This thread reminds me of Carl Ross' 24HCF Positional challenge. Maybe we should resurrect that challenge.

Maybe we should resurrect that challenge. Simple observation, starting w/ the OP. This article was also quoted: "Ode to the Crutch" - by Craig Boddington Five Field Shooting Positions You Should KnowMarksmanship... as a Last Resort. In this vid, they All use lead-sleads, even in tree-stands. And then this board becomes unhinged when one points it out. Go to the rifle range w/ a shooting mat? You will most likely be alone. GR
