[QUOTE="speedbump, post: 55110, member: 547"] If you've shot any conventional highpower matches then you've fought this battle before. Since conventional HP allows the use of a sling [B]only[/B] for support, you deal with breathing and you pick up brachial pulse effect every time. There are ways to reduce it, but it's there. During rapid fire strings or a hastily assumed position alot of folks set up for firing on the complete exhale. Others shoot after exhaling & inhaling a little. It's a matter of personal preference. I ended up with better peformances from a full exhale, but your mileage may vary. What 4ked Horn described is a classic description of the term "Natural Point of Aim" or "NPA". Paying attention to this will reduce group sizes whether your shooting from a bench, from a sling in competition, or in field expedient mode. Basically, if your NPA is off, you'll likely find a different recoil impulse which will show immediately by your muzzle recoiling in a different direction than normal. You'll know it before you even see the bullet impact. I saw it twice in the Wimbledon Cup at Camp Perry a couple of years ago & BOY was it costly - two 9s. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] Sloppy position was costly me even though the wind was taken out of the equation. [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] Yes, you may have to shoot between heartbeats. Slap a sling on your upper arm without a shooting coat with a +15 pound rifle & I guarantee you'll see it!
