Even with a good scoped rifle, anything over 20 – 30 yards I want a rest aim.
I am not sure I agree. If I had to have a rest for my shots, I would take about 1/10th the deer I have. I stalk, have stands, sit...etc.
20-30 yards is my bow range, not rifle. I understand the concept, and agree that under some conditions it makes sense. However, where I am in WI, most of my shots are 80-120 yards. I feel that if I can't hit a target with a scoped rifle at that distance, I should put the gun away.
