[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 966142, member: 50867"] Take full notice of what cohunter14 had to suggest regarding form, wind, mirage, etc. . If your groups are consistent for each of those shooting styles (at least one of which essentially takes the shooter out of the picture) there most likely are some environmental issues to consider. A couple of other things to consider. lightbulb Use 'em if they help, ignore 'em if you choose. 1. In prone, make every effort to align your body as much as possible with the direction of the rifle so that recoil travels straight through your torso and doesn't just deflect off your shoulder hold. 2. In prone with bipod, "load" the bipod ever so slightly by pressing [U]straight[/U] forward on the rifle with your shoulder so that the bipod legs have just a light amount of pressure on them. Keep your body as close to the ground as possible while still being comfortable with sighting. 3. Cheek weld on the comb should be firm contact but should not put enough force on the stock to cause it to move in any direction and your head should be as erect as possible (avoid excessive leaning over the comb to sight on the target) 4. Let the rifle point naturally. If you have to put pressure on the stock to move the rifle and hold the pressure to remain on target you're not letting the rifle point naturally. 5. Hold the pistol grip of the stock with the first four fingers to the front and your thumb laying alongside the stock (don't wrap the thumb around the stock). That helps to ensure a straight back pressure on the trigger and prevents you from putting torque on the rifle. Hold the butt bag snuggly to squeeze it as necessary for elevation adjustments. Make sure the butt bag is placed squarely under the butt and not with more of the bag on one side than the other. 6. There are several ways to control breathing - just make sure you're not taking air in or letting it out when the firing pin falls. 7. Avoid the led sled; except perhaps for load testing. [/QUOTE]
