GUN STANDS - NORTHERN WI

RE: GUN STANDS - NORTHERN WI
I added a rest to my Gorilla Kong XL lock-on that I use for gun season. More for concealment rather than a rest. I don't have any other pics than these, but after I took these I purchased some camo fabric and attached heavy duty velcro to it and if it weren't for my blaze hat...you'd barely see me in the tree.
I agree with "Brocster"... 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. My sentiments, too.

A gun rest? Sure, I take any advantage I can get. Probably my most common rest in a tree "gun stand" is crossing my legs, and resting my front forearm on my knee. I have done that quite a few times. I find that if I can rest my front forearm onanything firm, and lock my front wrist I can hold rock solid steady. Using a gun slingis kind of the same concept.I think part of learning to shoot is finding body positions that give you a good steady natural rest. I also place my stands in such a way that give megood right handed shots....most of the time.

I certainly admire those of you who have the ability to forgo a rest. I think they're infinitely valuable for hunting, though. They help when the breath and and heart rates soar because a deer came into view. I know from experience a rest helps overcome the nerves.
Canned Heat, you just gave me an idea. I've made a few ground blinds and have been wondering how to rig up a suitable rest. That picture got the wheels turning. I'd been thinking shooting sticks or a monopod, but I could easily rig up something similar.
