Rest or no rest

Just wondered some great write ups on here about lamping and shooting foxes, some are at long range, say plus 200yds all good stuff, just out of interest, do you guys use sticks, bipods or free hand.

 

Cheers

i would imagine most shots are off the back of a pickup if shooting at 150 yds +

sometimes work freehand , if im not useing a big mag on the scope but usualy work off the bipod on the bonnet of the car!

well when walking land i use the pods, or if i can drive it off the top of the jeep. when deer stalking shooting stick or pods, sometimes off walls what ever is handy realy

Again it depends what Im shooting.

 

Mostly I use the Bi-Pod if Im walking around, I have a tall one, and I use the shorter one for Zeroing.

 

Other than that, I use a convenient fencepost or similar.

Any and everything possible....prone, kneeling, standing, bipods, sticks, bars on the truck, bonnets, bumpers, walls, fences, gates, trees, your buddies shoulder, etc etc, anything that will make the shot possible...and if there isn't anything you don't take the shot!

[SNAP SHOT 194]

95% of my shooting is done on the bi-pods. be it form a wall or ditch the bonnet of a jeep,

5% on shooting sticks......... and any other means necessary...........fence posts etc tree trunks...

Ive got a bipod on my .223 but i just bought one of those adjustable bipod cum walking stick things for my rimmy and its absolutely brilliant. Its like having a portable fence to lean on constantly in front of you!! recommended.

Bipod 95% of the time with centrefire or vehicle wing mirror when driving around lamping using .22 ...

Bipod mostly or my mates shoulder hes gone a bit deaf lol.

All of the above and a few others as well...............Martin.

Bipod for me from the ground or a wall.

[woz 260]

most of the time i shoot out of a vehicle on a rest i made that slots into the door where the window is...for fox at extended ranges its with a bi pod..either on the ground or the bonnet...i never leen on posts, mates shoulders,free hand etc...not for safety reasons but because i cant shoot for shit unless i use the fiirst two methods iv mentioned...im going to get out with the 22lr and get some practise in taking free hand shots.....

[Mr_Logic 5]

Normally a bipod. The 244 yard one the other night was off a fencepost - as Deker says, whatever is there to give some support. Outshooting is master of the free standing shot though

When lamping foxes and rabbits we nearly always drive so use a sponge wedged between the mirror and pillar or the window frame, sometimes the bonnet. If I'm walking, find something to lean on or shoot freehand (rimfiring rabbits). If it's deer or daytime foxes, I'm nearly always up a tree, if I'm not, I shoot prone. I try to keep it simple walking during the day, personally I can't be bothered with carrying binoculars, sticks etc. Just a gun and knife for me.
