2nd does the POI change @Trout from your range sessions style with no forend pressure to a hunting in the field practice ?

3rd do you practice to simulate field shooting ?

4th this is the way i see it, others will have different ideas
i have a bunch of rifles i all shoot differently.
Varmint rifles . . all but one is off the bipod, with the No.1 Ruger i only shoot off my pack.
all other rifles i fire leaning over sandbags . . thats for everything, working up a load, zeroing, varifying.
its as close to how i might get to shoot at animals accurately if am lucky . . if am not so lucky i am leaning over a bush shooting over my pack or other strange positions.
my point being i look at range time as preparing for the field . . small groups shot off the bench that i cant duplicate in the field are of little value, using a techneque i won't use in the field is of no value to me, in fact it might give me a false idea of my skills.

which has nothing to do with the young mans problem in this thread . . forget i mentioned it, its probably the fumes coming off the casting pot

I just shoot off the bonnet of my truck at the range,nothing special.Same way every time for years.Most of the deer i shoot are under 300yds,so thats easy.Some on the run at 200yds or less.Deer are a big target but do shoot rabbits or roos now and then at good distance just for practice.Field shooting to me is just a few thousand roos and some deer yrs ago,308 of coarse.Good practice.Nothing special in my shooting bench bonnet.
