Default RE: shooting from a stool (turkey hunters)??

If you practice all the shooting, it's a stronger base when your on one knee rather than two. It's great to practice it all because you never know what position the birds catch you in. Also practice out of the blind, I know alot of guys who have shot the blind itself! Not mentioning any names.

OK....that was me.

Seriously.....I practiced out of my tripod stool until I was blue in the face. Then.......bird comes in from my right....and stays there. I get out of my stool and raise the blind up(matrix widow) a bit more to get a shot off......and now I can't shoot from the stool. I shoot off one knee.

HOW DID I MISS A CHIP SHOT????

OK....I shot the blind. Let's regroup......

This debacle story ended really well (for me....not the bird).
