[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 607018, member: 10832"] I have watched their show and this stuck out to me as well. Like others have mentioned a lot of practicing one way and being consistent will make many shooting styles work. Having said that, I personally think there are potential faults with their style of shooting that make it difficult to maintain the utmost in consistency in the LR game. As an example, I go back to my early years of shooting when I realized that the way the gun recoils off the bags makes a difference in POI at distance. I could do everything correctly but have my bags setup so there was a bit of a slope to the bag underneath the stock and at recoil the gun would slide down the slope of the bag just a bit. Once I figured that out I was amazed at how my groups shrunk. I think the same principal is going to apply to putting your hand on the scope. How can you ensure that you are applying the same pressure to the scope at the same spot on the scope at the same downward angle? This may seem like minor details but I think in the LR game they would make a difference. One of the reasons that heavy guns shoot better at LR is because the weight of the gun has the mass to better overcome any outside forces that are applied to the gun upon firing, from the shooter or bag setup etc. Especially considering that the EOL guns are built to be accurate LR shooters in a lightweight carry setup I think consistency of form would be even more important. Not trying to bash their show or success at all. Just suggesting that guys looking for a shooting style should use something that is as repeatable at all positions and situations as possible. Scot E.
