aiming when hunting

when i'm warren shooting i always lie down with my gun resting on a pillow covered in a camo pillow case! dead stable and better than a bipod.

I have always been a ferreter and used a shotgun for decoying etc. I am new to airgunning. I have the rifle,scope and lamp and hope to go out soon. i have sighted in rifle by sitting and placing elbows on knees to get a steady shot. Was wondering what you all do when you walk down a hedge lamping about taking a stready shot. Do you usually shoot standing up or do you go down on your knees, sit, lie, expect it varies with people just wondered what you all do. When standing seems hard to keep rifle still. Thanks.

 

 

If i can i tend to kneel as i find i can get a steader shoot.atb .catcher.

There was a link to a technical field manual around here somewhere, gave loads of advice on shooting positions. I'll try to dig it out!
