    Practicing trigger control.

    Interfering with recoil, like flinching does cause problems and adds zero value. Roles and responsibilities. The shooter needs to understand this. Position fundamentals etc is the point.

    Practicing trigger control.

    Yep, as was as mentioned, knowing who owns what role and responsibility, the rifle does not contain the recoil, the shooter does. Flinching is not a shooter responsibility (merely adds noise to the process and gives poor results) and so on....

    Practicing trigger control.

    Recoil... Lots of talk about recoil. If you consider it a bit, recoil is the firearm's job and sole responsibility, not the shooter's. The issues involved increase as the shooter thinks it's more his responsibility. The role of the firearm is to go bang and then recoil as a result...

    Who invented the straight behind the rifle prone position?

    ...probably he guy who wanted to present the smallest profile possible to the folks wanting to return fire invented the position.

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    We'll said. I'd be no good at Tae KwonDo without substantially proving my flexibility with not so comfortable exercises, so those days don't appear to be so long gone. Cozy comfortably to that rifle with increased flexibility is beneficial to improving the position. At least for me with...

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    The position and training I mentioned was purely relaxed. Not sure where this persistent muscling discussion came from. Did you shoot 600 with iron sights? I've only shot 500 meter with iron sights. Could you enlighten us as to why Army comes out only a couple points ahead of the Marine...

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    The position is entirely relaxed. Snapping in merely stretches muscles and training gets you into a very relaxed position. After firing and the rifle recoiling, your sites settle in exactly where they were. Again, I hit the black at 500 meters, iron sites. As I recall, my worst was 90% in...

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    The Marines Corps has an excellent marksmanship program. The discomfort was really during snapping in. I held a prone position for a long period of time with a proper position - arm and elbow directly under the rifle. The sling hold everything very tight and uncomfortable until the muscles...

    New to LR/ELR Target Shooting - ADVICE for newbie?

    If you never snapped in, you'll never see your heart beat bouncing the scope around. So, if you don't know what snapping in is, don't worry about it.

    Vertical Stringing off Bench

    Could be a simple as consistent cheek placement on the stock. Watch your follow through. Don't jerk your head up after the shot.

    Can see heartbeat bounce crosshairs a lot. Issue with the stock (PRS)?

    When I shoot prone and use a super-tight sling on my bicep wrapped around my arm and over my hand to the front sling, I always get a heart beat. It's because I am s securely tied to the rifle as one is supposed to be in this type position. Using glass or iron it still happens. Has nothing...
