Yes I did, (most of the time.)

Sometimes I shoot standing up.

It's not recommended.
It will almost certainly shoot to a different point of impact if shot off a bipod or pack in the traditional manner.

You can still use that shooting rest just move the rifle forward so that the for end of the stock is in the front support. The rear support will be somewhere behind the pistol grip.

The rest is backwards.

As above ^^^

Noticed on one of the latest South Island rifle walkers videos on YouTube they missed a Chamois while resting the barrel on something and missed. I did wonder about that at the time of watching.

are you using square armour piercing bullets

We need a pic of that so it gives me the inspiration to move my kitchen because my dishwasher sucks and I would be able to put a target on that! God help the dishes.

Greetings All,
The NZ Police Shooting Range Manual contains Section 10 Safety considerations for ad-hoc sighting in when not on a range. You can download it from the Police website. It should be a must read for anyone contemplating doing a bit sighting in on their or a friends property. Ignorance is no excuse when it comes to safety.
