Range Report2 __ BBB and Me.

[Deadwood Dutch]

I really enjoy reading your reports, I should probably shoot my .44 magnum offhand more often, it only weighs 6.5 pounds. And the one with the scope maybe a half pound more. It's true, you don't usually have time to rest your rifle on something and then take aim when the deer come along. At least, I never have had that option very often. You really shot well!

Appreciate your compliment, Dutch....especially from a hunter, who is as experienced as you are. And glad you like my "home-made" range reports.

I'm usually in a fairly high deer blind where I hunt in the fall. I could have a "rest" for the Big Boy on any of the windows (three directions) I watch through, but I can't see using a rest position. I don't think there would be time to set up like that depending on which field or ravine the deer may come through. That's partly why I shoot off hand. Plus I just like to shoot that way......actually more comfortable for me. Thanks again!

Looking good. Not sure how big you are. But I've found that when shooting off hand sometimes it works well to bring your forward arm back to the receiver and kinda prop your elbow against your chest if you can. this can help with the fatigue. No need to grip way out there as these guns don't need to be held down.

I really should practice shooting off hand more myself. I normally rest the barrel on something or at least prop up the forward hand/arm.

Good advice. I'll try that. Thks.

This is a tiny little rifle but should help you visualize what I mean. Just pull that arm in a little against the gut.

Squatch --- Appreciate both the suggestion and visual "aid." I see exactly what you mean.

I'll have to give it a try, but some things come to mind. It seems that by bringing the forward arm back to the receiver, the barrel might move/swing a little more. Not sure, but I'll see what happens when I try it. Next thought was that it should be helpful to prop my elbow against my chest. That looks like it would help stabilize the rifle. Good pointers...thanks!
