[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1014186, member: 34818"] It's likely a combination of things. The bag being less supportive can cause a lot of the POI change. You may be doing a lot of things to affect it as well when you go from one shooting platform to the other. I would imagine that you may even hold the gun differently when shooting from the Caldwell rest than you do with just the bag. A lot of people will shoot from a rest and get a good trigger pull because the gun is locked in and solid. So the reticle isn't moving that much on target and the shooter will get a good trigger squeeze thus making an accurate shot. But when they move to a less supportive shooting platform sucj as your bag, the reticle will move around a lot more on the target because you are not stable. This will cause people to try to "slap" the trigger when they think the reticle is over the bullseye when they should not worry about the reticle moving around and just squeeze the trigger good and smooth like they did before when the rifle was on the solid rest. If you are right handed, slapping the trigger will usually cause the shot to go low and to the left. And people will get to where they will do it so consistently that it will actually look like you are shooting an ok group but it's low and to the left of where you were aiming for. [/QUOTE]
