just-A-snap 1,269 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 23 August 2016 – Found it very hard holding the Rifle Unsupported, lack of strength in my hands and arms is still a big problem.

Hawke Eclipse 3-12x50 AO IR Mil-Dot Scope at 10x and 7x https://youtu.be/9RLEsabAyNs 2 Quote Link to post

Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 If you had included a shot of you hokding the rifle perhaps we could have helped you with your stance? It's not bad shooting though. 1 Quote Link to post

All the best VIZLAUK IS ONE OF THE BEST UNSUPPORTED SHOOTERS IV SEEN but he shoots this way all the time and has told me and shown me how he dose it but its just not for me snap The man is unbelievable to watch and out to some good distances to and all pellets in the kill zone one shot after another with both spring and pcp only reason he has a pod on his pcp is for when we go back to the tanks so he can put it down mate or have a slash lol atvbjimmy :thumbs: 1 Quote Link to post

Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 If your arms are getting tired then more than likely you are engaging too much muscle rather than solid, bone to bone. Quote Link to post

I have big problems with the strength in my hand and arms, I am thankful to be able to use the rifle at all freehanded. All the best Quote Link to post
smithie 2,443 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I do free hand shots (sometimes). I find it best if I don't hold too far up the gun and try keep my elbow in to my side. After that is all about the exhale. Quote Link to post
just-A-snap 1,269 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 OK some of you have found me out, I do not have problems with my Hands and Arms. My real Name is Christy Brown, I mostly shoot with My Left Foot but just for kicks I have been shooting with the right one to confuse some on The Hunting Life. My real Name is Christy Brown some think that I DIED in 1989, I did not I just changed my name to Daniel Day-Lewis. So I am SORRY if I have confused any one with how I hold my rifle or the stance that I take. All the very best Daniel Day-Lewis 1 Quote Link to post
