If I could offera suggestion, and I sincerely mean this in the most helpful way,we should all really work on our rifles and loads to find what it takes to get excellent accuracy, and then weshould practice enough with thatloadto be able to hit a tennis ball repeatedly at 50yds...should be no misses from flyers, and should be nomisses from our shooting abilities.

IMO, it doesn't matter if we shoot offhand standing,or standing/leaning against a tree, or sitting leaning against a tree and resting on arms on our knees, etc...whatever way we have to shoot to always hit a tennis ball at 50yds is the way we should always shoot...doesn't do anygood to hit it from a bench rest at the target range 'cause wedon't shoot that way in the woods...we need to practice at the rangethe way we'll shoot in the woods.
