[QUOTE="Brent, post: 55044, member: 99"] Petander, I wouldn't suggest dropping the bipod, not an option for me either. However, I would suggest dropping the carhood shooting altogether. If you're willing to deal with the POI shift, that I think you're body position is likely causing, go for it. I'd shoot the thing the way you will in the field, prone on the ice, dirt, whatever. I'll have to post a pic of the testing I was doing yesterday off the bench rest verses the backpack layed on the bench, no bipod on this one. POI dropped with the backpack on the table, it did not using it prone though. I pull the stock up snug with the trigger hand, no more really, support under it with the other, no pressure left or right in my natural body position and squeeze. I don't think the bipod makes squat for difference if it's on a freefloated rifle, compressed/stressed or what have you. Like STL said, you might control vertical more putting some downpressure on the butt, especially if you shoulder it low, I'd think. I don't think I hold as firm as you guys might. [/QUOTE]
