Shooting prone is great when your 18 but that was a long time ago. I used some scrap to make a bench and put a hitch and wheels on it to move it around the range. When it's not hooked up to a truck it sits on it's feet. It beats moving it by hand.
http://www.fixedsighttraining.com/Advanced.html I teach long range shooting on my 500+ yard range just east of Denver. Right now I am mostly helping hunters get dialed in at the ranges they expect to be shooting but varmint and other long range shooters welcome by appt. You spent good money on your rifles. Make sure they are set up correctly for the range you want to shoot and make sure you are not the weak link in your shooting system. 303.359.4777 www.fixedsighttraining.com __________________ |

The range is about 15 min east of aurora reservoir near Kiowa Creek Sporting Club. The range is on private property so if you are interested let me know and we'll discuss schedules and I'll email directions to the range. I also teach Basic pistol/ CCW as well as advanced pistol classes. |

And yet every one of them shot their last deer "just over 500 yards away". The amount of skill that shot takes far surpasses most hunters abilites and yet I hear it at least once a month. |
| that right,I'm stealing your idea. I have a similar problem where I need to move the shooting station to get different ranges.thankshttp://goo.gl/0U2hFr |
