Nice!Yeah those guys on their knees are tempting the fates.
If I'm invaded I'll be in my recliner with an AR and a bunch of loaded p-mags
Dave: I predict you'll love, "The Load" by Ed Harris. It's worked for me in just about all of my shoulder rifle cartridges...+- a grain. Rod've been using reduced loads of IMR 4198 up until now, but I just scored several pounds of Red Dot and am planning to give Ed Harris' "The Load" a try:
A nearby fence post works pretty well also. Although, fence posts aren't as easy to pull up and carry around as hiking staffs.Mostly, I use whatever trees or even a hiking staff to help steady myself when shooting off hand.
I went out to the range yesterday and among other things, shot 7 clips (56 rounds) through one of my Garands. I was shooting off the bench, so the recoil was hitting me harder then offhand, but still, the Garand is pretty soft shooting, as far as 30-06 goes. Anyway, my shoulder got sore last night and is sore again today. I may have to invest in a PAST recoil pad that one slips on the shoulder.

Many shooting athletes may develop headaches. This often can be attributed to sustained positioning in upper cervical extension (rifle) cervical rotation (pistol) or from recoil (shotgun). There are many different types of headaches: tension or positional, recoil, migraine and headaches associated with secondary illnesses. The most common headaches I see with shooters are the tension and recoil-type headaches.
These headaches generally present as pain at the base of your skull which progresses around the back of your head to your forehead and even to your eye. This pain is due to pressure on the greater occipital nerve. This nerve exits at the base of your skull and gets pinched when the muscles in this region get tight and with positioning of the head in a forward head posture.
Got one on orderThe PAST works. I use it for every thing except my AR's. Even those bolt action Mauser 8 MM's are tamed. Pretty cheap for what they do.
And not so abundant deep in the wilderness on the side of a mountain!A nearby fence post works pretty well also. Although, fence posts aren't as easy to pull up and carry around as hiking staffs.
Indeed. Even little babies are getting old. The only thing that does not get old...is...COFFEE!!! Dark, strong, coffee. My drug of choice.Of course you are.
I do 90 pushups, among other things, 3 days per week.Well, as Josey Wales said to Lone Wadi: "it's not old age that creeps up on a man, it's old habits". Do some pushups!!
