[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1714325, member: 8873"] Just speaking fundamentals and not a rifle or scope issue. If I observe one of my students struggling I will watch them going through the shot process. Check their parallax which can wreak havoc on their grouping at longer ranges when they keep popping their head off the stock more often than not after each shot and not keeping a consistent cheek weld. I also see a lot of limp rear bags. I like one pretty firm when in shooting position to keep the butt from dipping down when recoiling. I want recoil to come straight back, more consistent that way. Makes spotting my own hits (part of my follow through) easier as well. I like to drive my rifles fairly hard and load the bipod, some rifles like to be driven harder (hold and bipod load). I also see guys loading the bipod first and then getting on target, this to me adds stress to the position. I will stand straight behind them and watch the muzzle during recoil, if it is torquing one way or another and not coming straight back I know something is off (this may be a rear support/bag issue as well). To get their NPA on track I will shoot them blind. You’ll know if you are doing things right when you are shooting little groups onto intended POA and you cannot see your target. [/QUOTE]
