[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1672928, member: 10291"] I have mostly used the same rifle for my LR hunting ovrr the last nine years, Initially, I would adjust my sighting for different positions which I had pre-determined. For example, upright to prone I would aim .5MOA lower. Over time, working on my hold for each position to achieve the same POI, muscle memory took over and I no longer had to adjust. I do about half of my shooting off a Bipod. Whether I load it or not is dependent on the type of surface I’m dealing with. My holding pressure on the rifle is different as well. I’ll load lightly off a hard bench, but apply no loading in the grass. Both shots shot hit the same POI. IMO, the key is to control the rifle such that it sends the bullet the same way each time. Lots of practice! I think this is easier then having to correct sighting for each position, and, once mastered, it has proven to be transferable to my other rifles with similar ergonomics. Just some thoughts. [/QUOTE]
