How do you like to hold a 30+ cal rifle when shooting with bipod and no rear bag?
I did some testing in fading daylight tonite at the 100yds range and experienced what I felt were unexplained misses.
I then tried pulling the rifle to my shoulder with the right arm tight versus not pulling.
Loose on the shoulder: Avg dispersion about 3/4 MOA
Tight on the shoulder: Avg dispersion about 1/3 MOA or a bit less
Where do you keep your left hand when shooting like this? I keep it at my Rt shoulder, holding the butt stock.
I only had time for a few shots before it got dark. In the target picture I numbered the shots and labeled L or T for loose or tight on the shoulder.
With the tight hold, the sight picture was shakier, but I felt like I could call the impacts more accurately. With loose holds I felt the misses were puzzling.
