Thread: Precision shooting recoil/point of aim

First up I have not watched the videos yet but assuming a medium / light rifle and a caliber larger than 7mm.
Rights that's my cover in place.
Just looking at the cover pics on those videos I notice that while some of those rifles have slings in place no one is using them.
Particularly as recoil climbs or rifle weight drops using the sling really helps to control the front end and pulling the rifle in tight to brace the hold.
Like everything consistency in vital. How much down tension and pull back into the shoulder.
Without the front end control the rifle is free to move around a lot more under recoil.

In my case I can shoot my 243 crossed arms as it's not a light weight and has a lightish after market trigger. My 358win I have to use the sling with the bipod to stop it climbing over my shoulder. Makes it more technically challenging to shoot.
