The finish on my current ATI stock is holding up well..for now.<br /><br />Thanks Scout!<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-53888501111571049052010-06-12T16:38:43.890-05:002010-06-12T16:38:43.890-05:00To: Grumpyunk

I've learn to adjust my shooting style somewhat because of the eye dominance thing and the fact that most left-handed bolt actions are hard to find used (the ones that use them won't sell them). i just need to practice more and find what combination works.<br /><br />Thanks Grumpyunk.<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-20312078140257383952010-06-12T16:35:22.809-05:002010-06-12T16:35:22.809-05:00To: idahobob

Prone is such that if there is a bit of slightly tall grass or weeds you can't see anything beyond point blank.<br /><br />When I shoot prone (we do it for qualification now) I have my front knee up and my back one down. I "rock back" and rest my butt on my back ankle and my front tricep on the front knee. Don't miss much in that position.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-38628342826605692522010-06-12T14:38:47.411-05:002010-06-12T14:38:47.411-05:00For those who would buy the ATI stock in Mossy Oak...For those who would buy the ATI stock in Mossy Oak camo, don't.
