Good stuff mate. Looks a bit like a place I go to in SB.
Were there many shooters around, or did you have the place to yourself.
Pretty flash camp you have there...

i reckon that i could knock those decoys over but thats it
have you tried mounting the gopro onto the barrel - maybe underside so it doesnt interfere with the sights

Haha.. Know the feeling.
Are they home made decoys or FUDs? I've used the FUDs with pretty good success, just a little pricey.

I put the contour HD on my rifle oversea's and the footage came out cr.p, might be ok if you in a hide, but walking around or not having a fix aim was poop. However everytime I took a sight picture you knew what I was aiming at

The best was fixed to the side of my head on the master side because when you watch the footage and you see the rifle come the the shoulder you see straight down the side of the weapon and you know something is about to happen
