if you look to what is it? F class rifles they fire a small cartridge like .22ppc from a heavy rdontifle with solid barrel so hardly need much handling to make them shoot reasonably

compared to a for arguments sake lightweight 7mm mag with soda straw thin barrel with a heafty say 150 grn load honking along...now if you dont hold that puppy like a long lost lover you gunna be in world of pain when you squeeze off.......and after 10 or so rounds that will possibly be jerk trigger /close eyes///pull stock sideways AKA flinch like faaaaark


in short you got to know when to hold em .......yeah some guys do fold em.

Dont know anybody using a 22ppc in F class most use 6.5x284,300wsm,284 or some other 7mm. Ballistics rule when you are shooting out to 1000 yrds
But yes heavy rifle shot in a rest with free recoil is the technique used
