During hunting season, it can take days or weeks to locate the animal that you are pursuing and you may only have seconds to take a shot. As hunters, we must quickly evaluate how much time we have to build a shooting position, establish the distance to the target, wind speed, and shot angles.
Don’t let your hunt be the first time to try out a shooting position or engage a target at a specific distance. Knowing your limitations as a marksman, before heading afield will help to determine what is ethical for your hunting scenario. Because each situation is so vastly different, there are a few fundamental positions that you will want to practice before your hunt in-order to increase your level of confidence and downrange success. This includes, prone, sitting, kneeling and standing positions.
