[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1800191, member: 75451"] Quote from crazyhorse: When getting down on the gun to shoot and in your final firing position, meaning the only thing left is pressing the trigger. While keeping your cheek weld and shoulder position, slowly and slightly release pressure with your strong hand (the one gripping the rifle and pulling the trigger) and watch the aiming point. If the rifle drifts slightly from center (especially left or right) adjust your position until it stops moving off the aiming point. The result will be consistent rearward recoil and minimizing your "influence" on the rifle under recoil. There's a lot of big gun shooters on this forum that don't need reminding that most of these guns have significant recoil. The little bit of drift noticed from using this technique is magnified tremendously under recoil and will challenge even the best of equipment to produce reliable, repeatable accuracy. This is something I’m keenly aware of when shooting from the bench, and “pretty much” use this method as well! Essentially, your verifying that you are “not” introducing undue stress/torque to the rifle during the shot! memtb [/QUOTE]
