Thread: Is leaning into your bipod a myth?

In certain applications I think it is more effective. For example a few weeks ago when applying the technique I use for my hunting rifles (everything is neutral) I could not get on target at 1300m with the suppressed 338. When I loaded the bipod and absorbed the recoil better I was able to get on target.

I don’t find it necessary for my hunting rifles at those shorter distances though. Too one dimensional, what if I have to shoot off a rock or a tree etc? Instead I use a neutral style where the bipod is not loaded and just recoils into my shoulder the same way it would over a pack, off a tree, standing etc.
