[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 104259, member: 5302"] Two things typically causes that to happen. Sometimes the barrel isn't fouled just right which usually puts the first couple of shots off in any direction. Other times the shooter is fouled (doesn't get the shots off cleanly) to start with and this usually puts those first shots off in the same direction. A couple of guys on our rifle team years ago had this problem with their rifles shooting in the prone position; the first and sometimes second shot went astray. So we traded rifles. Then they still had the same problem with another rifle but others shot their rifles just fine for the first couple of shots. These guys just didn't settle down enough to shoot well from the get-go. Others did. I was one of the guys who had the problem; my first shot prone usually went 1 or 2 MOA up and left; the second one not as far. But I learned how to fix it. [/QUOTE]
