1 man coverage of a bunt

Single umpire mechanics. (The dominant situation here, even in most tournaments.)

How do you guys that do single umpire get into position for the play at 1B with a bunt into the infield on the 1B side? (Not right down the 1B line, and not right back at F1, but in between.) With good teams, the runner will be blocking your view down the running lane, the charging F3 will be blocking your view on the inside of the foul line, F2 will be charging toward the ball as well as F1, pretty much blocking you out completely unless you can get well into the infield, and F5 will be in the mix there, too.

Add a runner on 3rd, keeping you sort of home, and you have no shot at seeing the play at 1B.

Any bright ideas?
