Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game RE: Basic Field Position Rifle Marksmanship

Have come to the conclusion that it is the "CrossFit" equivalent of rifle shooting.

CrossFit - is ancestral kinesiology.

Basic Field Position Rifle Shooting - is ancestral marksmanship.


Was taught that way, worked to master it, and have shot and hunted that way ever since.


... so am apparently unevolved.

An anachronism.


No offense.

And those that need crutches to shoot well enough to hunt...

Sadly I think much less of men who can’t shoot a rifle accurately.

I’ve never shot an animal from prone position- plenty of targets & had elk at unknown range in my scope laying prone over a small hill but didn’t shoot. Too much low brush in the way most places I end up shooting. Last year one elk at 90 off hand, another on the run wounded at 200 off a knee then a finisher seated, deer at 225 seated. Nice to build a firm rest shoot off a pack or rock or tree branch but better to not need more than your body to an effective hunting range.

I know, when you start a thread & it doesn't go your way, start another 1, with a different title, about the same thing & see if that works out better !

Oh yeah, & do it in the same forum !!

Crying here.

He wants the same result.

That being, attention.

Looks like it's working.

This thread - was to let you modern wonders off the hook.

Crutches, pictures, hurt feelings and all.

Soar, little ones.

I guess the irony of boasting that you're a throwback on the internet is lost on some.

"throwback"...

Nice.

Useful for dinosaur hunting in the thickets...

Anybody know who this guy is...?






GR

I already told you. Just some old fart who knows noting compared to our resident experts here.

How about this guy.

Know anything about him?



Looks like a competent rifleman as well.




GR

Obviousy he can't hit a thing as he has no bipod or tripod.

I know that guy could be giving you personal lessons and you'd still want to argue with everything he says. You're a fraud, wouldn't take him long to figure it out like everyone here has already done.

The marksman uses all tools available to make the most precise shot as possible, be it a sling, a bipod, tripod, ruck, rock, sandbag, etc. Everything else is ego. Change my mind.

I have done many disciplines including traditional service rifle, which I was competitive at locally. But a man has to know his limitation and has to have good ethics. If I can use tools other than a sling to make sub-minute shots on game at 600, I will. I owe that to the animal. If I choose an sun-optimal method to boost my ego, I am acting unethically.
