[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1318886, member: 41338"] My range time varies but I like to experiment with technique. I see a lot about "cheek weld". I see a lot of guys lay into their stocks pretty hard. IMO, based on my experiments, hard cheek weld induces stress into the machine. If you watch a pro level golfer, he has a set up routine. It works for him. IMO, a hard weld es no bueno. I usually set up in steps. These aren't the steps. Sometimes, range trips are so far between that I almost forget my steps. I get a "cheek weld" as a point of reference on the stock but consciously relieve my cheek pressure so only face-flab in in contact so the gun can recoil without my mug pushing the butt stock around. In terms of shoulder pressure, I don't pull into my shoulder at the time of firing. I try to create a pocket with my shoulder, snug the butt up into my shoulder and release that tension and allow my toes to slightly push forward so the forward pressure holds the butt where it needs to be instead of pulling hard into my shoulder. To create consistency, I tension my pec muscle so recoil against my body is a little more consistent and sort'a hard. A flabbly/loose shoulder pocket allows the butt to swing anywhere. A hard shoulder pocket... not so much. In short, I let the rifle do what it does freely, as you suggested. I just sort'a try to eliminate body nuances that cause torque through recoil. IMO, your on the right track. Then again, I'm just a dude who can't even get a Ruger Precision Rifle in 243 to do the Do. [/QUOTE]
