    Am I expected to demonstrate I am a benchrest or F-class shooter?

    This does not interest me. What interests me is hitting what I am aiming at. Does isolating all the variables help me with this?

    I will state this very plainly. How do you get better at dealing with the variables shooting throws at you, by avoiding them?

    Isolating variables requires me to make assumptions. I assume they don't matter. A hunter who shoots his groups and zeroes his rifle off a bench rest assumes that when he shoots if off his field rest, it behaves the same. This is an assumption, and assumption is the mother of all fuckups.

    While everyone else is reducing variables, I am reducing assumption
    once again you have missed the common ground......I will type it slowly for you.....the purpose of a good bedding job is to reduce the variables....as is good CONSISTANT technique.
    return to battery is the term used I believe to desribe how bedding works.

    you say you can shoot the same of many contorted positions...umm helloooo thats the opposite of consistant...so you have to be VERY good at getting what you can to be the same...see even there there is common ground...consistancy is the key..repeatability is another way to say it..doesnt matter a shit if that is a 3 or 5 shot group or 1 shot today and 1 shot in a months time....if its not consistant it wont consistantly hit where it was supposed to be aimed at.... the very WHY of shotgun fit.....if a shotgun fits the shooter properly they can hit targets in all sorts of weird situations as gun becomes an extension of shooter... its consistantly the same.
