I'm having myself a good chuckle over this thread, NE450No2, we agree on every point except one: the importance of the 'steenking' bench!

As an ethical hunter, one needs to know two things:
1. the accuracy of the rifle
2. the accuracy of the rifle-man
Regrettably perhaps, the former can only be determined from the bench. The latter is undeniably best determined from shooting offhand, or from any other useful field position.

Here in the Northern Territory, we are fortunate indeed to be able to practice for hunting by stalking and killing buffalo and boars, offhand!, however the value of shooting paper targets is not lost on any of us, nor the enjoyable social intercourse and friendly competition provided by a day at the range.

In reply to:

I could shoot my double rifles in one of those contraptions that hold the rifle and are bolted to the bench



This would probably be a good way to wreck one of those contraptions that hold the rifle and are bolted to the bench!

BTW, you are the only person I have encountered who believes that, when shooting from a bench, "the rifle recoils differently effecting the results". My own experiences are at odds with that assertion, as were those of Graeme Wright, Jack Lott, and every double rifle regulator who ever lived. I for one am very pleased that my doubles were regulated from the bench, rather than standing off-hand!

"Give it a try, with a little practice you might like it."
