I have a Encore 243 pistol that I'm wanting to hunt with this year. I had it out earlier in the year , shooting off a bag , it was awesome. I took it out this past weekend with a tripod and couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. My question is do I rest the barrel, frame or trigger guard on the shooting sticks to steady up and gain some accuracy? I'd really like to hunt with it this year but I'm not for wounding a animal either. Any advise would be appreciated and thx.
