I started to dry fire a bit more. I cut a hole in my wood fence creating a loophole that lets me focus on a small point about 140y out down the street.
I shoot an AW and I've always wrapped my thumb around the grip. As I'm dry firing yesterday I noticed that every time I pull the trigger, even during taking up the slack, my whole reticle drifts right about .1 to .2 mil. I don't know why but I never noticed that before, so as you can imagine it was a big wow!!!
So at the point I changed my grip and placed my strong hand the way one would fire a typical Rem 700, not wrapping the thumb around the top of the stock.
That made a big difference. It took away all the lateral movement the other grip was inducing.
I just wanted to share my finding. Hope this helps someone else.
