[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 379332, member: 5060"] This is good but also---"float/hover" per Speedy and do not lean on the bench or on the rifle. With light rifles this is very difficult to do and firm contact with the butt is required sometimes. Be consistent and do it correctly every time so you can be consistent. All of this is predicated on proper bag and rest placement and set up of course. A little trick that I learned is to get Everything ready to take the shot which means making sure the bags are settled and the rifle is level and properly placed. Then when you think everything is 100% perfect dry fire and if the cross hair moves then you have not done your set up properly. This is a HUGE oversimplifacation but hopefully you will get the idea plus never leave the loaded round in the chamber for more than a couple of seconds as heat will transfer to the loaded round depending on how many shots have been fired. During competition I do not touch the rifle except VERY lightly on the but and touch the trigger with the tip of my finger. Easy to do that with a 1 oz trigger but a light grip on a sporter it can still be done. [/QUOTE]
