[QUOTE="texas270, post: 953056, member: 26975"] Interesting subject for me because my shooting conditions are different from many of you. I often hunt in fairly high grass over flat ground, thus I have to shoot from a sitting position with barrel about 28" or so above ground--thus do all of my shooting in the sitting position for consistency. it is also often a bit windy here (Texas). so keeping everything steady in moderate wind with heart beat and 28" above ground over a tripod, the best method for me has been to do precisely what the originator of the thread alluded to--placing left hand holding both the front of the stock and the tripod and applying consistent rearward pressure in order to best maintain stability. It works well by my standards, but I am only shooting out to 600 yards thus far, but expect to achieve 1/2 MOA, unless I mess up. be interested to hear if anyone else has related experience....
