I know that hunting season is a ways off yet but I've been thinking about my gear setup. Long story short, when I hunt public land, if I am not in a tree, I am in a field chair...to lighten the load, I took a primos monopod shooting stick out with me. Now {this is a centerfire story}, I had my Ruger 350 Legend with me...and off the bench, I've got nice groups, 1.5 inches at 100 yards all day long...but in the field, there was a buck, maybe 100 yards away and I thought I was on him but I took two shots at him and clean missed both times! I thought I had the crosshairs on him, but I assume I must have flinched bad. Part of it, I think, is that the monopod was just not steady enough to hold on a target 100 yards away. Anybody got any experience with a reasonably lightweight rest/tripod to take into the field to get more reliable accurace. {And for the wiseguys, yes, I intend to practice the heck out of shooting off that monopod at distance!}
