I'm thinking, yeah, use that lead sled.

I'd also suggest at least one bag of lead shot and even better if it's 2 bags to help with stability. You could use a big C-clamp to hold the rifle down in the sled while you carry it out to the squirrel killing fields. Gaining elevation for the high angle shots might be a little difficult so you might need to consider a real heavy duty tripod to assist with that. Of course, hauling all that accuracy enhancement out to the killing fields is going to take some effort so a good lawn chair to rest in might feel good.

Don't forget the ice chest and beer.

My favorite is the CJ-7. We put a new roll bar into it that completely covers the front.
Put the windshield down, put bags on it, shoot from the seat.
On those harder shots stand up and rest on the roll bar that's padded with foam.

Cooler goes behind the front seats.

Depth perception: that’s an interesting topic and one I should’ve brought up. It’s such a slight effect I guess I’ve never even thought about it.

I assume you shot shotgun with both eyes open? I’m no competitor.

You shouldn’t go into any cataract surgery expecting to never wear glasses again, btw. Doctors use tools to estimate your end vision, but it’s called an estimate for a reason.

I spent decades in Miami, which proves that God punishes people in this life. My dad had a big boat, and we used to fish off Miami and in the Bahamas. I know a little about the fishing culture.

It is full of raging idiots with huge egos. The amateurs are bad, and the professionals are much worse. It is amazing to me that anyone could have a big ego while pursuing a trade a monkey can do. Outwitting fish is a low bar to clear. But the water is covered with monster narcissists.

I have never met a professional fisherman or captain who was smart or in any way impressive. They are typically high school graduates who would otherwise be mowing yards.

It is not just common, but routine, for pros to break the law and violate every imaginable rule of fishing etiquette. They barge in on other people they think are using "their" spots and "their" GPS numbers, because they own the ocean. They let other people find schools of dolphin, and then they back in uninvited and clean house. They cut in front of people who are trolling weedlines. They are obnoxious when drunk, which is about 50% of the time. They are extremely rude to their clients, which is amazing. They also expect tips even though they set their own rates. That's moronic.

I remember staying in Harbour Island. There was an imbecile retired fighter pilot who ran a mediocre little yacht called the Strike Fighter. He used to roar past boats at anchor at full speed on his way to the dock. He was the talk of the island. Imagine standing in your galley trying to make a sandwich while a cretin like that wakes your boat.

There is a guy named Bouncer Smith who ran charters in Miami. He had his profile raised because he kept fishing while a swimmer nearly drowned nearby. Made them wait for the authorities to rescue them. Then he made excuses about how he had a paid charter.

This Horner character is a national disgrace. He is a repeat offender, a brat and punk, and he can't seem to learn his lesson. He needs to go to a penitentiary. His buddies on the boat are not much better. Not one of them did anything to deescalate, and one of them egged him one. They should be indicted as accomplices and forced to hire expensive lawyers they can't afford. I don't even care if they violated a law. And I'm pretty sure the one who pushed Horner to attack broke at least one statute. The victim should get a tort shark lawyer to sue them all into oblivion.

People are criticizing the young victim for the way he responded. Well, he was facing four able-bodied cowards who were probably armed. If he had fought or drawn a gun, he might be at the bottom of the river now feeding crabs.

It looks like Horner is a stolen valor case, which would be consistent with his character. He claims he's a former Ranger, but his records say he was a PFC in HR, and no one has found any evidence that the records are wrong. He needs to be put in prison with a bunch of fellow criminals who lift all day, and then when they put him to the test, we will find out whether or not he has Ranger skills. I'm betting not.

I really hate bullies.

Yeah, I bought a Ruger American Ranch .300 BLK back in 2022, threw a Timney in it, put all the Anarchy Outdoors accessories on it, and put it into the regular Magpul Hunter short-action AICS stock (the STANAG stock had not been released yet), and used Magpul AICS .223 mags. It cycled fine. If you searched hard enough, you're sure to find some of my posts about it on here... You could have saved yourself some time, money, and headache if you had just started with an AICS chassis/stock for it. Then you would have only needed Magpul or MDT AICS .223 mags.

Also, I run the MDT steel 12rd 6mm ARC / 6.5 Grendel mags in my 16" Christensen Arms MPR chambered in 6mm ARC. Bought it back in 2022, as well... They run flawlessly.

People have changed over the past five years of so. You probably haven’t kept up with that change.

What worries me is that there are some, a few, certainly not all people, who fish that seem to think they are a protected class. Kinda like the queers or the blm people or the Muslims. Being a protected class, they think the world not only owes them, but you’d best bow down to them, stay off the waters (which thing think belong to them and them only) and praise any effort they make to muck up the waterways for anyone else

NOTE this is NOT All men and women who fish, but a “minority” who act like GOD has died and gifted them the universe. (a minority sure fits the picture in my mind)

This “charter” captain seems to think he is also a member of this class. He was fishing in the middle of a fairly restricted waterway and demanding that everyone comply to his wishes that he be allowed to fish in absolute calm and pristine conditions.

Now, from what I understand the “victim” ran through, at speed, in that restricted but not speed limited waterway. Which pissed off said, “Best Charter Captain” (says something about his ego and attitude right there) and he and the “victim” got into a verbal argument and that moved into the Best fellow jumping aboard the other’s boat and making threats.

Now let’s not forget that common courtesy on both sides would have been a better plan. Fishing in a restricted area (a bridge passing) and speeding through a restricted area without concern for others, in my mind makes both wrong and as we all know, two wrongs don’t make a right.

My only hope to come out of this situation is that first, the “victim” learns that a bit of courtesy goes a LONG WAY, pay attention, don’t be so arrogant, slow down when it appears appropriate. And, I hope that who ever granted the other fellow his license as a charter captain, pulls said license. If his temper is that bad, he does not need to have paying customers aboard who might at some time displease him.
