Gotta shoot through the bobbles. Guys try to watch the crosshairs dance then yank the trigger once they see it center on the target. Let her dance a little and apply pressure until the boom.

While I share your attitude about fat women, our beliefs about light rifles could not be more different. There is more vertical relief within five miles of my house than in the entire state of LA. When you realize that your truck is in the saddle on the skyline, light seems very right.

My thoughts too. MD - what do you do with your non-trigger hand? And then there is the question of off-hand/kneeling/sitting shots.


"off-hand"

What's that???

Oh...that must be when they run 5' bipods down and stand up on their hind legs!!

Those who never shoot off the bench apparently only shot factory ammo....no load development needed. Bench shooting (shooting off the bench not at it) is necessary for accuracy while developing loads. It's also a way to get the sight-in close. I have found that that rifles need to be checked and sometimes adjusted for zero from field positions after the bench sight-in, point of impact is often a little different from bench to off-hand.

I saw my dad miss a fine buck because he rested his Mod 70 directly on a fence post. See John's comments above about resting on hard surfaces.
