Thread: Bipod, uphill shooting issue.

A few months back I took two shots at an animal. Close range. Uphill again. Same bipod. Total miss. I could have throw the rifle and knocked it out!
I never had issues shooting off a bag.
Is there something I'm missing?
Recently I've not had good mojo but that doesn't explain the shot years ago.
Go down the range and all good.
Wonder if the bipod reacts differently to uphill shots.
Any help appreciated.

Going back to the backpackpod

now you are saying close range so elimination 1) ZERO was the rifle correctly zeroed 2) scope set up -all tight 3) ammo -good stuff- all the same -3 ) uphill angle well you said close range so should not be a factor unless your close is actually 300 yds 4) your shooting ? more importantly your hold and trigger control uphill 5) if you are shooting well on a range but shots uphill not working and its close range my bet is hold is the problem to work on - are you putting pressure somewhere is your hold different to shooting level on a range - and just to make sure there's nothing about your bipod set up thats putting pressure on barrel somehow ??
