    Shooting Sticks

    Have any of you any experience with Bipod shooting sticks? While we're at it, what about a monopod rest? I'm wondering what, if anything is truly sacrificed by making things simpler.

    Using shooting sticks correctly

    I've read that you should always have your hand under the stock whether shooting offhand (duh), off the bench, or off shooting sticks. I've watched my share of African hunting videos and seen guys shoot off sticks a thousand ways. And they're only shown for .3 seconds. What is the absolute...

    More Binocular Carry

    You know what would be great? If you could wear your binox around your neck over your shoulder and swung around to the back where they could clip onto your belt on the backside. All it would take would be a clip of some sort. Hmmmmm Somebody could make some money designing such. Anyway, the...

    Blasphemous (and Impossible?) Question

    I'm going to just spill it out. What could 10 -12K get me for a safari in Africa. Nobody likes to talk money - that's the blasphemous part. I think you know the impossible part. It can be in any country, length of time, animals hunted, etc etc etc. Hey, I admitted it was impossible!

    Zeiss Built by Leupold?

    I was going through some old notes (I keep a folder by the PC and jot things down) and saw the following: Zeiss Conquest scopes assembled by Leupold. At the time this was not as important information to me as it is now - or maybe it doesn't matter at all. I didn't cite any source...

    To Scope or Not to Scope

    OK, a .375 H & H and/or a .416 Rigby. The game to be hunted: Lion and/or Leopard. Would you recommend scoping and if so, what magnification? I just don't know what the "typical" ranges the cats are usually taken at.

    Greetings from the Northeast

    Hello everyone, I just signed up to this site yesterday. I've not been to Africa yet, but that day will come. I started getting into Double Rifles about 4 years ago. My first? An 18 bore percussion Joseph Lang from circa 1835. A real beauty and it shoots, too. Next was a Pedersoli .72...
