[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 712655, member: 39764"] I'm probably gonna get some flak for this (not from you huys but from someone else) reading this post..... I'm totally against the Caldwell (or any manufacturer for that matter) of a restraint to mount a rifle (or pistol) in/on for that matter..... Foremost, it's death on a firearm because it constrains recoil and makes the firearm absorb it (along with the restraint itself). Firearms are meant cycle with recoil. it's Newton's law. Restraint means the weakest component eventually fails. Secondly, it does nothing to improve shooting posture or form and certainly does nothing to improve a poor shooter or instill confidence against recoil flinch. I see them at our range all the time and I keep my mouth shut because, it's not mine and it's not my rifle or pistol thats being tortured. We actually have some idiots that resort to a remote trigger pull on a sled so as to remove any human intervention. Pretty sad IMO. Having said all that, I will use an MTM front rest (in lieu of a bipod) and rear bag when sighting in, if the bench is uncomfortable for me and I can't shoot prone, which I can't do at our club. Just my 2 cents.... [/QUOTE]
