Naughty but fun gun rest

[Scythe13]

This is a very gun heavy month hu?

This is my fun, but naughty way to make sure I don't wobble when I am sighting up on a bunny, but am in the mood for a standing shot or something like that.

Works best in preplanned positioning, but could be very useful to get a similar system set up for when you're at home looking to pop a couple of shots off into the garden, or something like that. I'm sure you could work out ways to make this system work for you.

Out shooting at the moment...thank goodness for internet connections and smart phones haha...I'm tucked in behind a tree and I was resting my air rifle on this small broken branch nib type bit. I then had flashes of getting a screwdirver and some super long woodscrews and screwing them into certain trees that I like to use for a bit of pigeon or rabbit. Then it occurred to me...that's a damn good idea!

Imagine a fence post with an inch or so of smooth nail sticking out. The screw would be massive and only about 2/3's tapered with screw (this stops massive damage, but you could just wrap a little tape around the end of the screw to stop even more damage). Next thing we know, we have a pre-set height system, stabilised for certain types of shot.

Granted a set of shooting sticks would work just as well, but I just thought it a cool, and VERY CHEAP way to set up solid bases on which to shoot, if all other branches were too high, or something like that.

What do you think?
