Question to those that shoot with their guns supported by other than the shooters hands.
Why is it that folks think it's SO...cool, wonderful, amazing, astonishing, etc., that a modern, quality pellet rifle (you name the caliber and gun brand) when said gun shoots dime sized groups at 50 or even 100 yards...when used with sand bags, bipods or tripods to steady the shooter and his/her gun ?
Yeah, I tried it once, to see what the difficulty is. I'm quickly coming up on 72 yrs old, and yeah...EVEN...I can shoot dime sized groups at 75 yards (that's the distance I shot) with my RTI Prophet Compact, in .22 .
So...WHAT's the attraction ? Nothing's been proven, very little skill involved..!?
Sure, I fully understand supporting the gun for sighting in the new sight/scope of your choice. It's much faster than sighting in, supported, than doing it free hand. I'll give you that. I also understand the help in finding possible problems that a gun may have recently exhibited.
I don't get it. Please counsel me on crutched shooting, so I can understand the possible misunderstood .
And...yeah, no...disrespect intended to anyone. Just don't understand this type of shooting.
