Sitting and Sticks

[Martini2]

Thank's Dan. I'll take a look at those. I am gong to give sitting a real good try and see if I can get a stable position. Practice and more practice.

Eric time and health concerns have guided my moving into sitting position. Several of my peers in 75 to 80 winters group are in same condition. Our R&D to find comfortable and stable support led to searching 2nd hand and resale stores for plastic stools with adjustable legs. Typically these are used for "old folks" to bath in shower stall etc. They can be found new at medical supply outlets and some drug stores. The new price is perhaps $75-$90 bucks. But as soon as that original user ascends to happy hunting grounds. The survivors usually dump said Med equipment. Hence with some scouting one can pick up slightly used seat for $5-$10 dollars. The reason for this long qualifier is that the seats usually have independent adjustable aluminum legs. This makes leveling on uneven ground or setting height rapido. Your correct by all means set position to support elbows on knees. Also you might have to modify X sticks to get level etc. We do a lot of Steel Gong silhouette matches here on open ground. In addition to seat and X sticks we sometimes add a device made from old tripod with wooden platform added for cartridge holder and or rifle barrel support during offhand and other positions. Any legitimate trick to keep banging steel is our goal.
