[QUOTE="Silverdoctor, post: 657135, member: 32300"] There is a great picture of John Whidden, top score in the Palma tryouts this year, shooting his homemade rifle. It has an adjustable butt that changes the angle he is firing at, but it is clear from the picture that his rifle is still canted to the left. I made the point some time ago that some people can shoot accurately with their rifle canted as long as it is sighted in that way and you always keep the same position... what a friend of mine calls shooting from a natural position. The advantage of a level is that it gives you a reference point to make sure you are always in the same position and a way to see it, but as long as a rifle is sighted in on the target and then fired from the same position, you will hit the mark. I know it rubs a lot of traditional target shooters the wrong way to say this... I don't use a level, but I do practice a great deal and try to maintain the same consistent comfortable position with my body... works for me, especially when I am in the field hunting and not on the range.
