My New Rest

[afarcry]

I thought my new rig might give you some ideas.

I've been shooting for a few years aiming with a tab at the back of the stock, but a kind neighbor made things a whole lot better for the 2010 hunting reason. My old rig worked ok but I was very limited as to how much area I could cover. He combined a couple rests and added lots of parts and built me a joystick controlled rest. Now I've got lots of motion using my mounth on the joystick. When I get about where I need to be, I do the fine aiming with my chin and use a sip and puff trigger. The rig worked well for aiming at several deer. I harvested one with it in late season.

Looks sweet, glad you can enjoy some venison.

Is that an Encore? What caliber?

If I get up to Hayward, you want to take a boat ride for Musky on the Chippewa Flowage?

Sure! I don't get on the water very much anymore but I sure do enjoy it when I do. That rifle is my Encore with a 7-08 barrel.

Nice rifle and caliber!

2010 was only the second year since 1989 that I haven't headed to the northwoods of WI or MN to chase muskies.

I'll let you know when I get my 2011 plans made. We have stayed quite often at Indian Trails resort on the east side of the Big Chip.
