[QUOTE="Wyodog, post: 1116589, member: 51310"] When shooting off of a bench the recoil direction is in a greatly straight back into your shoulder. When you switch to shoot from a bipod thru recoil will raise the barrel a little more than when you shoot from the bench. It is best to attempt to get the rifle to replicate the same recoil movement when switching to a bipod. This can be nearly accomplished by loading the bipod. This means that you put enough downward force on the rifle that when pull back on the grip the bipod leg will angle slightly forward towards the muzzle. With this method the recoil will more like when shooting on the bench. It is common for impact to be higher when shooting from bipods, preloading will help with this. I am a big advocate of minimizing the effect my shooting position has on the rifle. I try to align my body with the rifle and avoid any pressure that would push or pull the rifle in any direction. I be live that masking has an undesired effect on recoil movement and I only use a sling when shooting free hand, [/QUOTE]
