Vertical Strings

[DocRDS]

I am causing Vertical Stringing--its at 100 yards and its real obvious at 1k. (we also have chronos so those high flyers aren't faster). I read body position it the culprit, but is there any specific practice or exercise to cure me of this? Its a small effect (about 1/2-1 MOA) but its pretty damn obvious as its almost always vertical and usually high. Horizontally i can make em touch at 100, but i can get 2-3 calibers of width vertical (Angry fist at swirling winds for LR)

Inconsistent recoil management can cause this. Make sure the rifle is held into your shoulder with the same pressure for each shot. As you pull back on the rifle grip with your bottom three fingers of your trigger hand, make sure this pressure is the same shot after shot.

Three things are the most important: fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals.

Are you pinning the trigger after the shot?

The muzzle is coming up so the butt pad “wants” to be lower on your shoulder than it is. Can you lower it on your stock such that when the gun “looks” right to you, the pad is lower…where it “wants” to be in recoil?
