[QUOTE="Mt rummy, post: 1672570, member: 110504"] For every action there is a reaction. First movement is forward. Firing pin and spring. Then rearward. You have ignition/departure from case, hitting the lead of chamber, and the add a rotational twist of the barrel. Draw a dotted line from axis of bore. You want that axis to move in a straight reward movement. Simple? Drop at heel in stock will or can have verticle POI influence. ( Why bench rifles are cut straight) Dry fire on all positions and pay close attention to cross hair movement. Here's a good rule, go back to the dotted line. Your body needs to address the bore at a 90 degree position. Example; Place rifle prone on bipod aimed at Target. A right hander places his right foot on the " axis dotted line" behind the rifle. In a push-up position fall forward to the butt of the rifle. Stretch your right arm out to the side at 90 degrees to your body, then do a final alignment to the bores axis. Elevation of the bores axis follows through your body. You are now " square". Again dry fire and watch those cross hairs. Burn that movement in your brain!! Pay also close attention that bipod feet are not on hard rock or cement. You will get uncontrolled bounce. Same applies to trigger hand grip. Don't use down ward pressure. Old chunck gun shooters called this "bending the barrel". It was done to purposely affect POI. When you learn a good address, then do some reverse engineering. Purposely, go off 90. See where your impact is. You will soon learn how to troubleshoot yourself. The axis rule applies to all positions. The slower the pill, the more time to screw up. The bigger the pill, the more forces you have to fight. So go buy a 8 pounder and "work it out". And last, always leave on a good shot or group and burn the feel of the platform in motion. Have fun and hope this may help. [/QUOTE]
