For the current Postal Shoot (2017 Spring Lead Fling) I am thinking I may try to sling up into the M1A from prone. It will be a bit painful getting down. But once down and slung in I should be fairly good. Getting up will be a show for onlookers though....; )
I haven't fit into a shooting jacket since 1991...185lbs and in rock solid shape compared to today 270ish lbs and in a limping Jabba The Hut shape........the last "competition" I participated in was the 20 Shot Iron Man last year on "that other forum". That was from a carpeted bench. My elbows felt like stilts on ice....lol
I have decent shooting mat I used for long range Ground Grizz hunts. Which was fine on the elbows when on soft grass, dirt, tilled crop field, etc...but the prone stations at my range are the typical gravel. My mat is OK, but bare pointy elbows will still feel it.....I'm a Nancy Boy anymore I guess.
Anyone use or can recommend some elbow pads? I saw some by Condor that resemble tactical type but instead of hard plastic cups they have rubber. Or maybe it's as simple as going to Dicks and picking up some elbow pads for sports (like I wore years ago in Lacrosse/Football).
Suggestions?
