Like it but you might of just upset mac and mark with that comment

23 August 2016 – Found it very hard holding the Rifle Unsupported, lack of strength in my hands and arms is still a big problem.   Some shots with the .177 BSA Lightning XL Tactical Spring Air rifle

You shoot the way you want mate ,,,,,,,you hold your rifle the way you want,,,,,,,,,,its you behind the rifle not any one else   at the end of the day   with me its my eyes there getting worse im

at the end of the day

 

with me its my eyes there getting worse im diabetic and it affects my eyes ,,,ok when im looking through the scope but for spotting them i need my glasses (for distance) there could be ten rabbits sat 50 yards away and i would not see them

 

honest

 

If your arms are that bad snap get some sticks mate any thing that eases the pain in them cant be a bad thing were not getting any younger bud

 

at least your trying where some would just give up including me

Sorry to hear that Mac, hope you are controlling it well mate. Thought I would push my self with the free hand shooting, it is good way to build back strength. Most of the time though I shoot sitting and with hand supported on a tripod.

 

All the best

It is very common thing apparently Mac "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" just that mine was and is at the very extreme end, surgery has just stopped it progressing further so far.

Its all to easy to sit at a lap top or computer and type in how we think you should shoot or to criticize your shooting or any one else,s for that mater

 

but with out knowing personal circumstances or reasons why some just jump to conclusions and think its down to your shooting

 

RESPECT TO YOU FOR TRYING TO PUT THINGS RIGHT AND BUILDING UP YOUR ARMS

 

and as for free standing unsupported shooting its one of the hardest types of shooting any way in my book

 

and any one even with nothing wrong with them will find it hard to do

 

you keep at it Renos

 

you never know one day you may be as good as me (as long as its prone or off the knee)

 

RESPECT BUD ,,,,RESPECT

I think free standing is blooooomin hard for anyone (except maybe Viz) but with your condition it must be a hell of lot harder Renos. Well done you.

 

I find myself taking most of my hunting shots free standing, not because I want to but the rabbit or pigeon has gone by the time I manage to get down to kneel and then hope there is a good branch to get back up again, perhaps why I miss a lot...................... :hmm:

 

Keep at it Renos.

Ooh touchy...

 

I was trying to help, and I wasn't going to post again but seeing as you went all menstrual...

 

Mate if you read what I was saying the strength in your arms doesn't have anything to do with it.

 

If you have the strength to lift the rifle build your position correctly then your muscular strength shouldn't be an issue.

 

You should be looking for bone to bone support.

 

The stance is hard to adopt and takes practice but you will find it steadier when it comes to holding the rifle.

 

I don't know how you are holding your rifle now but if your arms are getting tired there is a good chance I could help you be able to maintain the freehand position longer and shoot tighter groups.

 

Why post a video on here of your shooting if you don't want people to comment... You just wanted people to pat you on the back and say well done.

 

Well done you shot some paper.
