[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3934512, member: 33119"] It sounds like you have a poorly built shooting position, you’re not finding your natural point of aim and recoil management are your issues. Spending money on these massive shooting rest devices are, in my opinion, like a democrat throwing money at something. It never gets to the root or solves the problem. Unless, maybe if the shooter has medical issues. Every issue you mentioned above is easily fixable with a proper shooting foundation and trigger time. I cannot stress this enough, you are the driver of the weapon system. Body placement is very important, consistent shoulder/cheek weld, breathing, natural point of aim, trigger control, and follow through (Recoil management). With a properly built foundation, be it with a bipod/rear bag, front/rear bag, a solid and COMFORTABLE cheek weld, all mated to your natural point of aim (NPA), your cross hairs will be rock solid. In this position you’re not muscling the weapon system to a desired POA. You have established the POA via your bodies/weapons NPA. Without this you are constantly adding unnecessary muscle tension into your shot due to forced POA. This forced POA causes you to constantly “chase the bull” with your cross hair. You can practice this at home WITH AN EMPTY WEAPON. If you can dry fire your rifle without damaging it, I highly suggest it. In the Marine Corps I have literally spent days upon days doing nothing but dry firing. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
