[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 1800386, member: 42494"] Mram, I also hold the forearm down with slight pressure (weight of my relaxed hand and arm, no muscles pulling it down) whether I'm using a bipod, tripod, lead sled, front rest and back bag, etc. I feel it improves my accuracy because it keeps the front from excessively springing up when the rifle is fired, helps keep consistant pressure on my shoulder instead of slipping around on the front rest or the bipod legs slipping away from me when I lean into the butt stock, and it allows the trigger hand to relax instead of using the trigger hand to pull the rifle into my shoulder and simultaneously squeeze the trigger. All my muscles are much more relaxed and the only rifle pressure is just my body weight resting on the rifle's front and butt and my finger pulling the trigger. No muscle memory required because they are not used. Only the weight from my hand/forearm on the front, my cheek holding down the butt, and my shoulder resting forward on butt holding the rifle steady. [/QUOTE]
