[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2034005, member: 8873"] As far as body position goes, space creates opportunity for movement (just like fighting on the ground). Use something (bag(s)/sand sock/jacket/whatever...) to take up that space. You can practice by shooting from different rests/positions and having a buddy wedge things here and there as instructed to experiment. An example could be something like rolling up a jacket and placing it under your arm while in a seated position over tripod/sticks, or placing a rear bag under the heal of your foot to help raise the knee/leg you are resting your firing elbow on. You will notice real quick what is working or not by how small your wobble zone is. If shooting from a tripod (especially with the front rest far forward like the picture in above post) I will carry a set of fold up shooting sticks to support the rear. Probably have a small fold up chair to be seated squared up behind the rifle. Lots of scenarios you could practice on, don’t need bullets to tell if you are getting stability or not. [/QUOTE]
