Big hands, small hands ?

40 yr old male, solid build, medium large hands. All round hunting with an interest and the eyesight to go longer distance but within capabilities. So as he develops moving out with better optics to 300- 400m but starting out with say a 3-9x40 e.g. Vortex Crossfire II, sticking to sub 220m

Mostly off-hand or whatever's handy, tree, post, etc for close in, bipod or pack rest for further out, maybe sticks.
