    What am I doing wrong???

    In the last month I have shot my 338 Edge a bit at 100 yards and have found that my point of impact has been moving around. It was originally zeroed perfectly for 100 yards, but often it will shoot low and sometimes to the left (1-1.5 inches), then every now and then back at zero. The rifle is a custom build by KG and we have both shot some pretty impressive groups with it, so I don't think it's the rifle. I'm assuming it's to do with how I am controlling the rifle under recoil.

    I shot the 6 shot group the other day. The first 3 shots went low and to the left(I pulled one) - I was using a harris bipod (with podlock/spikes) and an accupod in place of a rear bag and I felt it was bouncing a bit so I took it off. I then shot the last 3 shots off a rear bag and POI came to the right and up.

    I've watched @Norway s DVD which I thought was really good. Given that I am left handed, am I 'pushing rifle forward with shoulder' or 'pulling grip or trigger' or......???
    If my work annoys me, I cull them
