How do you shoot when practicing? When I got my first PCP I shot almost exclusively from a table with sand bag or a front rest. I got to where I could shoot very tight groups. The first time I went into the field I could hardly hit anything because I didn't have my table. Now, even though I don't hunt, I either shoot standing with a Caldwell Magnum Fieldpod or standing with a Shockey Trigger Stick tripod. The trigger stick is very light and if I needed to take it to the field it can be carried easily. The only time I shoot from a table now is to sight in a new scope or troubleshoot when something is wrong and I want to take myself as shooter out of the equation.
