That is an interesting stance when you think about it. How many times do snipers need a solid rest or at least something to balance off of. I can understand why that would be trained. I would have never thought of doing that, but it is pretty cool.

Maybe you need to get your girlfriend to visit and you can try that way. Then tell us how well you can shoot...

That's neat. It kind of tells the enemy what you think of them too.

I went with a Caldwell Lead Sled, it seemed to be a little less awkward and didn't depend on having someone else with me.

I wish we could see that guy's name tag. You just have to wonder if it's Caldwell.

Crazy thing I have been the rest, twice! The first time deer hunting with my brother in Minnesota, good buck many yards away, nothing to rest on. He claims he missed becaused I breathed! Well I couldn't hold my breath for more than the 15-20 minutes he took to shoot. The second time was hog hunting in Texas, my hunter had no sticks or anything so I laid down and he used me for a rest, Unlike my slow-to-shoot brother, he shot quick and hit.

So in a real situation and the target shoots back, who gets shot, and where?
