---------------Kieth,
Don't build a gun for the unusual conditions!  If your stance is right, you
will have plenty of stamina left to force yourself into a decent position for
that one oddball shot!  I shoot FT, and we frequently have tree shots, and
off-camber ground to shoot form offhand postions, but I don't often miss
"offhanders" 'cause I shoot Silhouette rifle too. ld
