[QUOTE="Aussie, post: 55075, member: 2447"] Obviously there are lots of different opinions on how to make a rifle shoot consistently off a bipod . Here's my 2 cents worth . I do a lot of shooting with my .243 Ackley over the trunk of my car and using a Harris bipod . I don't have any problem shooting half MOA or better . My method is to hold on to the forend firmly as I would if shooting offhand and to apply some downward pressure . Prior to applying this method I found that I was getting serious vertical dispersion as the rifle bounced off the bipod and the springy metal surface of the car . The beauty of this method is that the rifle shoots to the same point of impact as it does when shooting offhand or from other improvised rests . Shooting off bags might be a different story unless you apply the same hold . Benchresters might disagree with my method in terms of achieving the ultimate group . If you are primarily a hunter who punches paper for practice or load development I think you'll find it works. [/QUOTE]
