[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1495198, member: 95344"] I haven't read all the posts so forgive me if this is all covered. First off as you and others have said set up and practice the way you plan to shoot in the field. I practice all my field positions and all hit point of aim point of impact except for one. Kneeling, at 100 yards that one always hits about 3-4 inches high for me. I only have one rifle with a bipod and I keep a mental note of where it hits with different surface hardness. Generally I don't like bipods. Also I have noticed that my bipod has to be tightened down pretty tight to be consistent. And there are of course other factors but here is my one that sticks out. BC, BC can change due to air density. I don't think that was the only factor in your shots going high, but it could of contributed. Which is why I mention it. So big things to do is reestablish your zero while shooting prone or the position you think you'll have the highest probability of shooting. Then go back and reestablish your adjustments according to distance and position. I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
