[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1445381, member: 41338"] I've tampered quite a bit with my "shooting technique" off the bench. For me, it does make a difference how I hold the gun, how I rest my cheek, how much I draw the gun to me and how much I push my shoulder/body mass into the stock. I've even experimented with how much tension I give my shoulder pocket muscle. I noticed bench rest guys being real particular about how the rifle recoils on their bags. They even use talc powder on the bags to smooth it out. That tells me that what the rifle does after the shot is fired affects accuracy. Light rifles really magnify how the shooter interacts with the rifle through recoil. When shooting for accuracy, I have a little check list in my head for how settle into the gun. Sometimes I forget and catch myself breaking form. [/QUOTE]
