I thought of a couple more suggestions. You spend close to 12 hrs driving in and out with a driver that speaks no english as well as a number of hours in a machan with nothing to do but twiddle your thumbs. So books or music on your phone with earbuds provided entertainment for me.
Next is a shooting rest might be helpful. You have a 2X12 board to shoot from. 2 of the machans had bags of some material that were meant to be used as a rest. Better things are out there. Something like the caldwell shooting rest. Distances are short but you want absolute precision. Perhaps only one chance in 2 weeks..... Its gotta count.
I brought over candy to share with the trackers as well as Christophe. If you have room it's not a bad idea.
Thanks for all of the positive remarks guys. I appreciate your taking time to read this.
