[QUOTE="Broz, post: 734573, member: 7503"] Here is what works for me for my most consistent hold. First I do not pull the rifle to me. Pulling back would unload the bipod legs. What I do is dig my toes in and push forward just enough so I can feel that the recoil pad is against my shoulder. Not tight, just enough to remove all slack and lightly push forward so the bipod legs are slightly loaded. You are right, it is an acquired feel. But once you get a feel for it, and practice, muscle memory will kick in and you will be able to repeat it. My right hand is relaxed after I get the rifle leveled and only used to break the trigger at the time of the shot, my left arm is cradled and my left hand is only in control of the rear bag. Squeeze the bag to bring the crosshairs down, relax the bag to bring them up. Cheek tight on the stock. Jeff [/QUOTE]
