[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1652882, member: 17889"] Hand on bag under stock, squeezing to fine adjust elevation. Also, I often use an adjustable monopod (Accupod Rail-pod I think??) on stock with coarse and fine adjustments. If using monopod, use weak hand to pull stock into shoulder pocket. Stock out of shoulder pocket will add angular recoil component also. Having a bag with ears....like Armageddon Gamechanger......also really assists in controlling rifle and building a steadier position. Most instructors, especially military trained, teach forward bipod loading. I don't do this. Loading forward imparts a foreshortening of bipod height....like the hand of clock leaving 12o'clock and becoming an angle gaining horizontal component (same as canting to the side).....which has to be recovered during recoil raising barrel as bipod moves toward 12 o'clock again. Just my technique. Bench rest shooters don't forward load and commonly shoot free recoil. [/QUOTE]
