Spot and stalk is as exciting as it gets to me. The WB rest is great for stalking, in the event you need to quickly change your position or whatever. A good open pattern, IMO, is Natural Gear. It works great on the open areas I hunt in CO. Another pattern is Prairie Ghost. That is great stuff for big grassy areas as well. There is no better way to learn than to do it, so best of luck and I hope you have a blast.
