Shooting a double over a rest
29/04/10 02:48 PM

I have read, many times and in many places, about the correct way to shoot a double rifle over a rest, i.e. only the shooter should come in contact with the rifle.

However......

I found this picture in the Merkel propaganda material (the sales brochure), and yes it is a drilling I think.....

...... but I also found some video of the test person shooting a double over a rest, then re regulating (re-soldering), and then re-shooting over a rest again. It clearly shows them using the rest in the same way that a benchrest shooter would. It is towards the end of this video (about 1 minute from the end if you want to FF through it)....

Quicktime: http://www.merkel-usa.com/media/Videos/ImageClip_med.mov

WMV: http://www.merkel-usa.com/media/Videos/ImageClip_med.wmv (for those without a proper computer)

Thoughts, anyone?
