The importance of being Solid

[bigngreen]

Great posts!! I'm in desperate need to change my rear bag situation, I thought a larger yet mushy bag would be better for shooting on odd terrain but I've found once you start looking for game at longer ranges I choose my shooting platform first, heck the game don't have a clue I'm on them so I can choose where to shoot from not be locked into a shooting position that dictates an odd set up.

I shoot with a stock pack, and cut out a huge amount of vertical by loosing the center strap so the rifle can still ride the bag under recoil the same from shot to shot.

Ahhhhh Rule number 1 or close to it is having a proper rest and set up. If you don't then quite simply you are wasting your time and ammo period end of story. Everyone should read this thread 5 times lol!!!!

interesting read.
i have been wondering about trying the 6-9 bipod. as i hardley ever extend over the 9, using my 9-12. and have been thinking lower than 9 might help.
i did fit bipod spikes and i really like them. i try to just let my body weight rest against them. but using the 9 aiming down hill tends to need a fairly high rear bag. i made one using polystyrene balls.(about 5mm size) i want something light for hunting,but it does tend to be a little mushy even packed tight. but do like the rice idea.

Mine is a tube type about 8" long and 3 1/2" in diameter.

This is it I believe.

This is what I am talking about. Not only tighter groups , but constantly tighter groups on different outings. It sounds like you are developing a good, repeatable and solid shooting form with consistant anchors. Doing it the same every time and being solid is the key. Once you have " the good Feel" for you hold it will become easy and if something is not right you will feel it is wrong before you brake the trigger.

Darn good shooting my friend.
