[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1053880, member: 50867"] I personally don't subscribe to the theory that shooting lower from the prone position than from a bench is attributable to anything more than differences in equipment. For a certainty, it has nothing to do with how your eye meets the cross hair/target image through the scope. I'd be more likely to consider a theory that considers how the rear bag/shoulder position affects the rifle's behavior on the bench compared to the prone position. Frankly, I don't shoot any lower in prone than I do from the bench and I don't personally know any accomplished shooter that does. When you watch video demonstrations, look closely at the body position of the prone shooter. A lot of them are not lined up behind the rifle; they're at an acute angle to the line of the barrel. That's not correct. You'll also find that some prone to bench comparisons use a rest on the bench and a bipod in prone. That's comparing apples with oranges. [/QUOTE]
