I've already posted this question on firearms forum but wanted a look from the night hunting guys.
What do you guys do for a rifle rest. I hunt at night and find that standing greatly increases my sightings by getting me up off the ground. I used to sit with a bipod but standing has given me more opportunities because I can look down into the low vegetation at the eyes coming in.
Currently I use a camoed camera tripod with a Lahti "U" shaped device to steady my rifle. The only down side is I cannot let go of the rifle. It a rest for the front stock, not a rifle "holder".
What do you guys do? I've seen some of you sit up in trucks(perch)and some sit, some stand. Just wondering about your position and rifle rest/holder.
 
My chair(which mounts in the truck) has a padded rifle rest on it. I would think shooting sticks would be a good idea for someone on the ground. Randy
