Need some advice on firing posture and hold..

i also notice you grip the forend making sure some of it sits on the tripod not the barrel of course yet you are able to grip the remains forend so you can still roll with the shot…no part of your hand touches the tripod

They break down in 3 pieces and easily fit in my suitcase.

In regard to forend resting on the sticks, true. Also, I have the Els padded sling which works nicely almost like a sandbag lying flat on the sticks.

Sounds like the Stock may be a bit short from the banged knuckle and bruised bicep.... Practice shooting on and off the sticks lots of good drills out there .... When shooting a double your hand should always be between the barrels and what ever you are resting it against or you will change the point of impact... hopefully you have not developed a flinch... I always end a range session with either reduced loads for my Big Bores or a .22 to re-establish good shooting form.... prees the trigger see the hole..
 
A few more trips to the range, a nice tripod and I will figure it out quickly.... .375 or 9.3X62 most probably the later will be my next gun in near future.

I’ll just add a quote - “The .450/.400 NE - The first double you should buy, and the last double you should sell - Dr. Kevin Robertson”

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.

Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.

This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
