[QUOTE="gunsmith, post: 932810, member: 53434"] Standing and firing at an 8" gong at 300 yards is good practice, but I'd recommend against most guys hunting game from a standing position. BRACE AGAINST SOMETHING. Don't agree? Try measuring a 50-round group, not the average, but the worst shot from standing. What's the measurement? Now try it from braced. Did the worst deviation from point of aim DECREASE? It should have, by quite a lot! Stabilizing the rifle for a hunting shot is the best advise I've ever heard. Almost everyone's groups average tighter and the worst case gets closer to point of aim. [/QUOTE]
