[QUOTE="sheephunter, post: 832, member: 285"] Again thanks for personal descriptions, there seems to be a variety of preferences as everywhere.Still I wonder whether there are "best" gun holds. 1: there seems to be a clear difference of opinion as to the amount of rifle hold and I would appreciate setting my concern to rest: Dave seems to suggest that he balances the rifle between bipod and butt sandsack,his hands do not hold the rifle at all,he just pulls the trigger: in this setting my question is repeated:I would expect the rifle to kick up(hurting your head and more) as well as back. 2:the following 2 contributors seem to apply a gentle hold onto the rifle stock,which is what I always did(not necessarily correct because I do)To recapitulate the 2 elements of the "hold" a:gently clamp the fore-end to prevent the rifle from kicking up b [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]ush into your shoulder to take up any slack so the recoil doesnt get "a running start" c:that business of letting your shoulder move back c the recoiling rifle sounds good I just dont know how my body or nervous system manages that,we are talking of a split second whack,I truly believe my upper body aint that fast "to move with it". [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] But taking my presumption to the (il)logical end: can one fire a magnum parked in front of ones eyes by 3", by just pulling the trigger and not holding onto the rifle at all- and walk away smiling every time? I am just to scared to try it sheephunter [/QUOTE]
