What kind of rest is that?

Great thread. I too would love ideas for my revolvers. I will use my sled similar to the one z showed but to shoot a revolver in a very stable manner off of it without damaging the bags I need to rest the barrel as opposed to the trigger guard. This changes point of impact fairly substantially than off the trigger guard which hits the same as my off hand or supported hunting grips. Any thoughts there appreciated. I can shoot great groups off the trigger guard but don't feel it's stable enough for me to do load development with as I am not sure if and extra half an inch in a load is me or the load. I can't complain as my groups are great out to 150 which is as far as I am ever going to hunt with a revolver but my OCD wants me to know where I can squeeze a few fractions of an MOA and know I am maximizing the potential of the gun.

I've said it before and I say it again, shooting tiny groups is over-rated.

I've found, if one cannot shoot well under a controlled environment..........one cannot shoot well outside of one.

Fundamentals is fundamentals. Ya got'em........or ya don't. A benchrest shooter does not automatically equate to a field shooter. But, the basic fundamentals translate exponentially from bench to field. I've seen it time and again.

I teach folks to shoot in a comfort zone. Then I take it away. Those that shot well in calm tend to shoot better in chaos.

Those that scoff at small groups usually do so because they can't themselves.

Have I been shown the door?

Well, to be fair, small groups on paper do build confidence. Especially if it's from a field position.

Agree 100%. But remember I was refering to revolver/pistol rests here. I think we lose sight of the essence of handgun hunting sometimes. With handguns, technique trumps equipment. Long range pistols are another thing.

No?

This was the entire basis for my gun design...

I think a lot depends on one's handgun philosophy as well.

Over the years we've had countless friends, cousins, inlaws, friends of inlaws and cousins, etc, come to hunt at the family deer camp. Most could keep a 2" or better group with their rifles off the bench on the 100 yard berm, but many of those same folks would subsequently empty a magazine on a moving buck at a similar distance or less without catching hair. Paper is fine for what it is, a manner in which to align your sights with your bore, nothing more nor less IMO.
