I know you like them hehehehehe

Thanks to steven_uk for the pics - thats me with the red hat. I've decided that I want to change the sling (biothane - its fookin stiff) and the optic (too big & cumbersome). Also found that cross legged sitting is a more stable position for me (as demonstrated by the orange clad shooting god) 
|
After some experimentation I've found that cross legged sitting is more stable for me too....I've never shot with a sling though, I'll get around to it at some point. |
Nah, he doesn't look anything like Elmer Fudd, Limey1's belly is MUCH bigger!!!!  (sorry Steve couldn't resist!!!) |
We have this conversation after every match  As for sitting, it's more natural to sit left leg crossed over right, but at the PR nationals 3 years ago, I got kung-fu'd by old Bob who well and truly buggered my knee and the result was I had to adopt a right over left position. I much prefer this position now as it elevates the right elbow more and gives a more stable position. I also prefer the position in the pic to the other crossed ankle position. A good sling and practise with it's use will pay dividends. I still prefer the leather sling BTW, I won the Nationals that year, including the 1000yds

Just consider yourself lucky that I even let you share the same firing point as me
|
The results are in! Check the NRA site as I don't know how to hotlink it to here. I didn't do too bad for my first attempt. Looking forward to the next one.
