Yea, usually they have it oriented (angle to target), so it’s harder to get a good position. It was comparatively easy this time.I’m actually envious of the relatively benign position pictured above, usually I end up contorted between the kid-sized seat
Seeing that school bus stage in @Walkalong’s post reminds me: School buses are relatively common props, and I tend to shoot from a bus at least once per year. But admittedly, every single time, I’m reminded just how much larger I am as an adult than I was a a kid... A shooter wouldn’t usually consider a school bus to be a real challenge, but they often are. The windows don’t align with the seat rows in sequence and seats aren’t built for adults, nor as shooting supports, so shooting various windows from various seats at various angles of fire will dictate multiple awkward shooting positions - I’m actually envious of the relatively benign position pictured above, usually I end up contorted between the kid-sized seat backs; those windows are very long.
Altus has a stage where we shoot at rebounding heads in bus windows, shooting from a bus as well, plenty of misses on that one. I think the first head has a force shield, I have seen folks miss five on it and hit five on the other one, both the same size.we shot from a barn into this bus.
I saw a fellow do this at a match and copied him, worked great. Bring a monopod.take your tripod, legs extended but not spread out, and simply lay it across the seat backs parallel to the windows.
