[QUOTE="doc76251, post: 11733, member: 2712"] A couple of questions and with a little intuative thinking you may be able to try some things. Since you said Military I will AssUMe that you know what a good shooting position is. Are you using a sling? bags? bipod? or bench? With a sling a pulse is more noticable w/ a scope because of how it wraps around your hand, hence highpower shooters use a glove. With any of the other methods, are you using a rear bag or trying to hold the front of the rifle? A rear bean bag that is gripped by the non-shooting hand makes for a very stable platform. Butt position in the shoulder. The butt of the rifle should fit in the pocket of your shoulder right on top of the thinnest part over your collar bone. It get's wedged into position when you bring your shoulder forward. If you put your left fingers on your right collar bone and do the "Dracula swing the cape in front of your face" move you will feel where the shoulder muscles come forward and bunch up. Right at that crease is where you want the butt of your rifle. You said your a pretty big guy. Are you laying flat on your belly or up on one side? If your a belly shooter try to get up on one side, it will take the preasure off your full chest and put it on your left side rib cage. Bring your right leg up and put your heel on your left knee cap. Your whole body will be in line except where your right elbow and right knee hit. Natural point of aim, not only good for follow up shots but good to keep you from fighting the gun and makeing the body work which increases blood pressure which makes your pulse stronger. Food for thought. As far as your body type and build not being good for rifle, I call BS. I have shot with some VERY BIG BOYS that work for our gov't and get paid to shoot long range. They shoot just fine. Cheers [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
