[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 1778286, member: 104268"] Empty chamber. I click away ruthlessly on everything except rimfire and real old guns, without any concern. [SIZE=14px]My tip to the OP, is "you're doing it right" if you know where and when the shot broke. The recoil (whether from springs or powder) should have no bearing on where the cross hairs were when the trigger was pulled. Sounds simple, but it's harder than you think. Blinking, flinching, jerking, etc will have far more affect than "free recoil" or "bipod loading" or "whatever". If you can break the trigger exactly when you want, you're 95% of the way there. If you're already able to dead steady break the trigger, then I concur that consistent shooting position is next most important. Same body position, same shoulder/grip tension, same bipod/bag tension, etc. There's a few milliseconds from trigger break to bullet free flight, where the rifle is moving. Keep that variable as consistent as possible. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
