[QUOTE="Blackbears4ever, post: 1979829, member: 115249"] When I read this post I can immediately relate to it. Lots of experienced shooters responding to this thread. My 2 favorite hunting rifles both weight under 9lbs loaded with a sling. At the range I practice off a Harris bipod because where I hunt every shot is going to be sitting, lots of ground cover and my pack isn’t tall enough to use as a rest. To simulate most hunting conditions put a loose sand bag under each bipod foot. My rifles shoot 1” groups off bags or a bipod. Lateral dispersion is very often influenced by your heart beat. What works for me is 6-7 deep breaths while getting behind the scope. You have about 5 seconds of saturation time to send the shot before normal heart rhythm returns. This trick took 1/2” of my groups and virtually all of that was lateral dispersion. Happy hunting. [/QUOTE]
