I have a bipod that I use to shoot off the bench (plus rear sandbag) but in the field I won't have the bench (DUH!). Anyway, I have a pair of sticks and a tripod, o, and I should add that due to lower back issues I don't see myself shooting prone...
So, if using sticks or tripod in the field I have seen some place them basically where a bipod would attach, up towards the front of the barrel. Other times I've seen some balance the rifle on the sticks/tri, placing them near the rifle's center of gravity.
Which is the better or more preferred placement in your opinions?
Most of my practice to-date has used the "up to the front" style of placement but I'm totally open to better ideas.
Shooting position I'd expect would be either kneeling or sitting from a low stool/seat, that sort of thing; doing a standing shoot for up to 300-350 seems less steady.
Thanks for advice!
