    Best not to compare target shooting and hunting when discussing shooting rests.
    But fact is that at least in the long range target shooting world, the need for speed in getting shots off has become very desirable.
    10 record shots in a minit or less has become fairly common. Which could also be used in a debate over just how much a roll luck plays.
    For sure it plays a large roll when hunting. Sending lead while the opportunity exists, trumps wishing you had every time.
    Shooting systems created with that purpose in mind, are equally as important while hunting.

    Bald Eagle from Grizzly. $129, wide footprint, windage, use a protector rear bag. Adjust the sides in snug and the rifle will not move at all except backwards.
