Just getting a feel for them, loading the en-bloc clip, loading the clip into the rifle, working it for the first time, shooting it for the first time. Getting a feel for how the sights work at 25 yards. The whole experience.
I'll call it benchrest shooting because of the front support we have for the gun. No use of a sling, standing sitting or prone. Sitting on something chair-like.

One of these - doesn't clamp on, just a better thing to lean on than your arm.
