Re: June 8th, 1860...Frontier Fun
Love it, RR. You look very comfy and natural in that particular shooting position. I've been experimenting with the kneeling position at home with some dry firing, but having trouble getting comfy with it ... and then there's standing up again. At this point, I'm more inclined to go to a full sitting position, since's I'm already halfway there, so to speak. That field sitting position was my most used position back in my hunting days and field shooting days. Anyway, you have, as always, greatly impressed me with your shooting skill. Well done, cowboy.

now that's getting more into my comfort zone .. .. well, closer but I prefer to take it a bit further .... seated in a chair behind a table with my rifle resting on sandbags ..
