[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1006271, member: 2011"] I'd say you're doing good. Shooting angle makes little difference, don't concern yourself with that. The reticle should be centered on the target without any grip or force against your shoulder. There's a term for that which I can't recall at the moment. Use your off hand to squeeze the rear bag to get the reticle centered with very little or no shoulder pressure. Then easy your shoulder into the butt rather than pulling the rifle into your shoulder. Maybe mess with thumb placement. Try laying the thumb along side the action parallel to the bore. Let the fingers do the hold. See what happens. Remember your dancing with a lady rather than wrestling with a pig. :) Having said all of that every rifle I shoot off bipod jumps to the left and I can't seem to cure it. Other shoot my rigs with straight back recoil. I don't get it.... Good luck. [/QUOTE]
