[QUOTE="DTinTX, post: 1800064, member: 104795"] Well I confess that I was taught by the same outfit (Parris Island for me), but way back when it was with a M-14 and bi-pods weren't an option...just really tight slings and a much more flexible and youthful body! I've been through Todd Hodnett's course since, and I was already using the same position his team advocates but they helped with refinement. That is with the off hand on the shooting bag under the butt of the stock. Having that hand come across the body provides great stabilization with elbow and forearm anchoring. The off hand manipulates the bag to make the fine elevation adjustments. Key to managing the recoil and return to point of aim for self-spotting is loading the bi-pod lightly and getting proper body alignment behind the rifle. As always, it's a personal choice and do what works consistently. I'm somewhat schizoid here, longing for the day when the expat gig is over and I can get behind my rifles again, but also enjoying life in Prague for now...wish I could have it all! [/QUOTE]
