    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    @ishoot10s its a DPT Hunter with a Dave Waters 6 shot mag.

    The photo was clearly taken with me flat on my back, trying to recover after the climb.

    I used to hunt with my SLR, which had to be my favorite .308 at the time as it was my only centerfire.
    If I ended up hunting an area in pairs i would say to the other guy
    "I'm going in front" rack the slide, lock it down on safe and after all the birds in the trees had flown away in surprise I would add
    " and thats why "
    You just cant load one of them queitly when an animal is sighted.

    I found an AR was surprisingly easy to chamber quietly. Pull the charging handle all the way back. Gently push it forward. Push forward assist and you're away.

    Would have been easier just having it on safe and flicking to fire when ready though.
