[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1519972, member: 85987"] I teach new shooters for their pistol permit here in Mass. I have a berretta 92fs and an 84 along with a custom 1911 in 9mm a hi standard 22 and 2 revolvers 1,.22 and 1 9mm. If a student doesn't hold the semi autos with a good grip they don't cycle well and will jam. Shooting my 92 I can run any store bought ammo through it without issue. I have about 16000 through it and 2 jams. 1 was load that had no powder and the other was a squib load. Both were store bought. Today I had a woman that jammed the 1911 5 out of 5 times due to not hanging on. The same thing happens with recoil management of a rifle. Prone you get more purchase on the rifle to control movement. This will produce more consistency than a hard hold on a bench. Now a free recoil bench shooter strives for the exact same thing. The design of his stock and the weight balance is what controls his recoil. If he has it perfect along with a load that is in barrel node he will excel. If his bag gets sticky for an inconsistent movement in the recoil pulse he will see it on target. I see alot of people throw some shade on the idea. The man who is describing it will have the trigger time and the data books that back it up. There are many good shooters here and a few great ones. Get yourself a lab radar and see for yourself.
