Gentlemen, I would appreciate suggestions for managing and fireing a too big for offhand, long, heavy, scoped pistol for good deer hunting accuracy under field conditions. | ||

gwahir, I use those, what you describe as, long, heavy, scoped handguns for deer hunting. Depends on your method of hunting: I hunt from elevated blinds and use a sandbag off the window ledge. Very solid! I welded arm rest on home-made ladder stands where I could rest my elbow along with using one of my knees to steady the handgun. This worked well when I was hunting from a ladder stand. If I found myself sitting by a tree, I would rest the gun off both of my knees placed together. Open country deer hunting may allow for a backpack to be used as a rest. I also have a home-made "snipers cradle" on a camera tripod that's kinda neat. Just a few ideas I've employed in the past. Best of luck with whatever you find that works best for your style of hunting. | |||

Thanks, Mark. This 'pistol' is actually over 26" long, so I could make a detachable buttstock. Works well off the bench the way it is, but need more stability if sitting with my back against a tree. | |||
