What ZeroJunk said is very valid.

Well, you can shoot 1/2 inch groups off the bench and it does not necessarily mean that you are good in the field. I bet there aren't a handful of hunters on here who can hit a 6 inch target at 100 yards with no rest with any consistency. Just make sure they are capable with the shots they will encounter.

As a reloader, I test rifle and pistol loads from the bench. This gives me confidence that the gun will do it's job if I do mine. However, field shooting and bench shooting are not even close to the same. I like to use shooting sticks or steady myself with a tree. I don't believe this will acheive the tight groups I get when using a led sled but, I know it's better than off hand shooting........for me anyway.
