[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1914943, member: 113501"] My last two range trips were disappointing until my last two groups last time. I was breaking in a 6.5 Creedmoor I've had for a while but never took to the range. First trip, my groups were bigger than I was hoping for. Sometimes I have a bad day but I kept getting 1"+ groups at 100 yards, even with my good ammo. My not so good ammo was printing groups around 2". That all changed when I tried a new grip with my left hand on the forend instead of the butt hook and suddenly my not so good ammo was sub-MOA. I have to see if those results stand up and see how much my good ammo will tighten up those results. Concurrently I have another rifle to break in, this one a LR308 pattern gun also in 6.5 Creedmoor. This one I would like to use a sling with. I have a Vickers sling and am only waiting on a Magpul Paraclip adapter before I can get it on and adjusted. Now, about my wrist, it has been giving me pain when I break my wrist. Holding my rifle in a standing position, I'm holding my handguard with fingertips because if I break my wrist enough to get my palm on the tube, it hurts. I have a UTG AFG that I have mounted at 7:30 which gives me a little bit to fill my left palm without breaking my wrist much. I looked for AFG and sling ergonomics videos but found pretty much zero. I would like to have my sling support my wrist and press my palm in to my AFG so I've got a more solid connection but I'm not actively flexing my wrist in an uncomfortable/painful position. If my wrist wasn't messed up, I would just be looking for sling technique but I have looked for that before and haven't seen much about using a typical 2 point sling for accurate long range shooting. It's mostly carbine course stuff or people showing how to attach a sling. I'm not sure if my grip had as big of an effect as it seems, I have shot very small groups with my previous grip but I would like to figure out how to build that grip with a sling so I can be consistent with it.
