Practice doing it wrong more?? Just where did you see someone say anything of the sort there Jack? And just what do you have against the use of a shooting stick. After a ton of shoulder injuries as well as a ton of AGE, I had to go to using one so I could actually stay out there hunting! It brought my shooting game back to the efficiency I require of MYSELF to stay out there hunting. The last thing I EVER want to do is take a risky shot that I don't 100% have confidence in!! Yes someone gave some incorrect advise about practicing with a .22 but that was immediately corrected and reasons given FOR the correction. And I don't think anyone has said "don't do it". What some of us have done was offer an alternative to freehand with the use of a support aid such as a Mono or shooting sticks. How about before being a jerk, you actually read what has been written there Jack!!
