Some people you cannot teach. We can only hope this idiot gets a Darwinian award before he does more harm . Broaching the subject of ethics with this moron will no doubt put him on the defensive and hurt your dealings. However, most of us know a story or two where the dickhead gets his karmic...

Most people today, practice from a bench, some even using a lead sled or other device to make the experience less taxing. Shooting sticks, though obviously conducive to good shooting, seems to me to be an extension of the benchrest culture. I mean no disrespect, l'm just having trouble adapting...

That's low tech enough to not feel like cheating. I know that sounds stupid, but l like to keep things as 1900's as possible, apart from having a rifle, as low tech as possible. As a science, hunting is more efficient using our latest developments. As an art, it's the hunter, the animal, and a...

I doubt that Selous, Harry Manners, Shelby et al , used sticks, and that bugs me. Tradition is a big part of hunting for some, including me. Wood and blue rifles, side by side shotguns, iron sights unless shooting long range etc.........but, not as steady as l was

A couple of alder branches as mentioned above, sure l could do that. I'm going to have to do something, l'm not a sharpshooter anymore.

l have never used them ever. Not even used a single shooting stick. Always seemed like just more stuff to carry. Does it really help that much? Or am l stubborn in thinking that more training should be had at other shooting positions instead of bench. I also, have never trained at benchrest...

I used to use a 35 Whelen for everything non dangerous. The 270gr bullets seemed excessive and the 235gr bullets seemed a bit short in length. Nowadays with the nice 250's available in 375, l sold the Whelen. The 375 is now a true all rounder. With 300-350gr for dangerous game , QD...

HI, I'm new here, but have lurked for a while and find you guys knowledgeable . What l think the OP is asking, and l think it's a valid question, is if his rifle does well with Sierra game king or whatever for that matter, is it not prudent that he hunt with the same bullet that he practice...
