  • Yes, you will still want the butt of the stock on your shoulder. But you’ll have the stick in your front hand instead of on the gun, so some of that wobble will be reduced.

    It’s easy enough to try, even if you just grab an appropriate size branch with a fork to lay the barrel on. But it’s much less movement, especially if you’re sitting in a blind.

    You should also try to shoot between breaths and heartbeats, but don’t slap the trigger. You might need to also get some experience with hunting so you don’t get quite so wound up when you have something in range.

    I have never understood trophy hunting and frankly it pisses me off. I look for animals that taste good, which means reasonably young, not some tough old moose bull I have to hold my nose to eat.

    And we probably feed a couple hundred deer on our grain bags all winter, I think they can donate one or two to my freezer.
