[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1979589, member: 78569"] I don't shoot a bipod off a bench. Only off the ground. Longer bags help a lot with stability, especially left and right movement. When I started shooting this year, I noticed the same left and right movement. I was putting too much force on the gun from about every angle. I think some of it was heart beat since it was somewhat rhythmic. Guess I was super rusty. I describe a good shooting form as setting the gun up on the bags with the crosshairs on target. Then wrap your body around it without moving it. I'm far from a good shot but this methodology gets me on the right track to figure out what else I may be doing wrong. I've learned that shooting is a perishable skill. Check out the Barbour Creek shooting videos on youtube. I have a rifle that is sub 7 lbs scoped and fully loaded. I work it into the bags with a back and forth motion to dampen human input. [/QUOTE]
