    YES PAUL, PAAAAUUUUSSSSEEEEE, WE UNDERSTAND. Thanks for another entertaining but still very useful vid. I just want to give a mention about my father, he turns 79 years old on the 26th. This past Sat. he bagged a nice 6 point buck ( in PA. or 3x3 in some other states ) with his OLD COMPOUND BOW. He should not be in the woods hunting these big PA. mountains due to his health ( AT ALL ) but he told me " WHERE IS A BETTER PLACE TO DIE THAN IN THE PLACE THAT I LOVE THE MOST ". I just gave him a BIG HUG, TOLD HIM I LOVED HIM & HE DID A GREAT JOB.

    You should try it when you only have one leg, and an above knee prosthetic. It's embarrassing trying to get up with something to grab hold of to help on solid flat ground, let me tell you soft wet hillsides like that of deer season here it's down right comical watching me try to get up. My solution is I stole an idea from Buffalo hunters. I use a firing stake, aka monopod, from the standing position, or I lean up against a tree. May not be the best firing position, but they work. Thankfully I rarely have to leave my porch to get a few deer each year. And my ATV with a small tilting wagon is a life saver.

    I never see anybody practice the sitting or prone position at the range. Some people zero from a rest and never try to shoot offhand while standing. Where I live, if I did practice sitting at the range, I guarantee that I wouldn't be wearing the same insulated hunting pants switch is going to change the whole sitting position. I would never be able to get down or up from that position.

I can honestly say though, I've learned so much more by watching these presentations over the past few years. Just by following basic advice about stance, breath control, trigger control and awareness of what I'm shooting at. My overall accuracy has improved ten-fold, still catch a flyer every now and again though. That's just me 🤣

    I remember when when a couple of my friends bought their Thompson Center Compasses chambered in 6.5 Creedmor, and thought they were going to be 1000-yard commandos. They came back from the range and were frustrated by how they couldn't zero the rifle. Turns out, they had followed the advice of buying multiple types of ammo to see what worked best for accuracy, but didn't know that their point-of-impact would change when you change your ammo type. It took taking them back out to the range to demonstrate this phenomenon to convince them. They're doing better now today, although I think they have yet to move beyond anything beyond 100 yards.

    It's amazing how many rests there are in the woods. Also, if you have to assume an awkward position, ease in to it, rather than making fast, easily discernable movements. You might get busted, but you'll get in to a more solid position if the critter sticks around and you're not as likely to terrify it.

    This year, I was able to get into a prone position on the first day. The ground under me was level, except a small rise, that mimicked my shooting bags perfectly. Two buck were 30 yards away, just downhill making the rest I was using absolutely perfect. I take aim at the six point, and... sun was directly in my eyes, and I couldn't find my front sight on my Garand, with the bucks in the shade. To make matters worse, the bucks were behind some dark bushes that I could see through, but didn't feel comfortable taking the shot. They ran. I got home and my Truck had a flat (it had been leaking air for some time and couldn't be repaired), and the spare that I'm using for the first time is a 20in. The rest of my tires are 17in. Better luck next year I guess...
