[QUOTE="fly2cast, post: 225344, member: 656"] My son has a couple of big hunts this fall, moose and the youth deer tag. The problem is that he's not a very good shot. I've been trying to go out to the range at least once a week this summer and shooting at gophers. We shoot about a box or two of 30-06 (reduced load) or 6mm when we go out. We are practicing shooting with shooting sticks and sitting on a hunting chair or in a sitting position on the ground. I expect to shoot this way in the field. He is really shakey and I'm not sure what to do to steady himself. One question I have is how do you hold the gun with a shooting stick? One hand is obviously on the trigger, but what do you do with the other hand? Does it hold the shooting stick, the gun, or is it in another position? I haven't been able to find many videos on the internet on how to shoot properly from a shooting stick. Another problem is that I'm not a really good teacher. I've gone hunting plenty but I've never had someone tell me how to shoot properly. I'm an ok shot but I'm sure I'm doing plenty of things wrong. I don't think the gun is the issue. It's a new Weatherby with a Leupold scope and rings. I think the trigger is good and I can shoot pretty good groups with it. [/QUOTE]
