Hunting & Fishing Using a shooting stick in a blind

[jdmartin]

I use a shooting stick a lot at night hunting coyotes, so I carried mine to a deer stand a couple years ago planning to coyote hunt after I got out of my stand. While sitting in the stand it occurred to me that the stick might make it easier to shoot well out of a stand. If you find that long shots off of the window of a blind don't feel all that steady, try this trick.With the gun set up this way,you can position yourself so that your elbow rests against the side of the stand or in a window and the gun can be made very steady.Hopefully I can get the picture to post.

I have a 4x4 blind and I cut a piece of 1x6 deck board to 52". Depending on the angle of the shot i can rest it on window sills opposite each other or place it diagonally resting on adjacent window sills. With my right elbow supported it is almost as steady as a shot from a bench.

"1x6 deck board" I do the same thing works like a charm!

Take a look at safari sticks. Two padded feet as opposed to one sharp point
