For shooting, I took a good camera tri-pod, bent some aluminum in a "u" shape and mounted it on top with padding for a gun rest. Best rest I've ever used. Swivels too.

Caldwell field pod and a black out chair

Was hoping to try it out tomorrow, turns out I gotta go to Birmingham to get a root canal. Awesome!

I do it all the time and enjoy it. Gotta be fast tho. I killed this 8 point this year doing it and also let numerous bucks walk.

I'm hoping to get out there tomorrow. I think I'm going to take the 30-30 with iron sights so I can get on target quicker. I can't see near as far as what some of you can at your spots

since i shoot right-handed, i scooch my little tripod chair into brush on the left of the lane i'm hunting, and make a blind to break up my right side outline. gotta check for twigs and brush for 20-40 yards in front of you and trim before starting your wait. a little pair of hand clippers makes short work of twigs and such. crossed sticks are a good rest ...

To me, its easier to get one point of reference on a deer quicker than 2 points. You have to line up your front and rear sights, without a scope. Using a scope, with both eyes open, you just have to line up the crosshairs. Great setup forten.
