Thread: Hunting Aotearoa

Did I just witness someone taking a shoot at a stag resting the rifle on the shoulders of the shows presenter?

Great way to educate new hunters!

Who cares

Done it many times and had it done to me, what is actually wrong with it ?

I have done that plenty of times. When you need a rifle rest you need a rifle rest.

Used my mates head once, needed more elevation

Done it, will do it again if needed. I don't see the problem as the peeps bipod is still behind the muzzle

Riding on the quad 2 up on goat patrol with a AR or bolt action, have used the shoulder of the driver many many times, standard procedure. The same safety rules apply to the process, a live round is only chambered once the rifle is in position and safety only disengaged immediately prior to pulling the trigger. Double discipline is required with the AR as it is with any semi-auto. As long as the driver wears muffs or ear plugs he’s fine, plus a tolerance to spent brass down the back of his neck.

Must say the program seems a step up on previous series.

Done it many times with the person putting fingers in their ears

Ha ha no but his shoulder could be useful as a rest when shooting prone

Exactly

Wouldn't recommend it with a braked rifle though

Be a new form of blow wave

A rest is a rest. If it works it ain't stupid. Pretty standard practice for most anti-armour or heavy cal weapons so why would it not lend itself to smaller calibres if the situation dictates? BBDA Clear!
