[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1493019, member: 101677"] Parallax is not the issue to that degree while it may have factored in. How high were you on your bipods, I’m guessing high to get above the grass. Did you have a rear bag? What I’m guessing most likely, is you got too high to get above the grass and weren’t stable enough at your shoulders and elbows and when you fired the gun recoiled back and the butt dropped down while the barrel jumped, sending each shot high. Aside from that, ditch the lead sled, practice shooting prone and develop the shooting fundamentals to use in the field. Also ignore the numbers on the parallax knob and adjust it to what your eye tells you. Hopefully that helps, but try setting a target at the same range, adjust your bipods to the same height, then see where your shots land. You could even run a 100 feet and flop down to shoot and see how the elevated heart rate affects you. Good luck and hopefully that helps [/QUOTE]
