I just wanted to post to thank you guys [mention]robby denning [/mention] [mention]Justin Crossley [/mention], and the other mods and sponsors for putting this on. It’s been very interesting reading people’s posts. It got me out and practicing, and aspiring to do better. In fact, it changed my practice completely, instead of starting close and moving back, starting farther out and taking the time to work up that cold bore shot. It’s actually a little “stressful” trying to make that cold bore shot, and I learned a lot the first time about what positions and supports get me the most stable. It also inspired me to get a new spotting scope setup (Swarovski ATX 65, new carbon tripod, phoneskope) so I can record /spot longer shots better, and make the most out of each shot. Work/family/vacation schedule won’t cooperate for me to make the consecutive shots this year, but I’m definitely looking forward to next year, and this has given me a better way to practice when I’m getting tuned up for hunting season. Great idea and thanks again.
A few pics for fun. New spotter setup in the back, 300WBY in the front. I’m lucky to have a nice setup at my folk’s place in Central Texas.
