I’ll start with- I typically struggle shooting from sticks. I’m currently using a Bogpod tripod with a U shaped rest. I’ve been reading a lot on here and dry firing at home over the last month.

Members put up an item that they may no longer need, want or have upgraded and it is just sitting around taking up space. The rules are that the item must be given away at no charge to the first person that names the item and says they will take it. In turn, the person taking the item MUST put something up in its place. For example, I will start this thread off with a box of...

I am on the verge of buying one of the "PH" model Rigby Big Game rifles that Cabela's recently got in. I am not close to where the rifle is located.
