Thread: Bad technique

Friwi makes a good point earlier, one that has been aired in other threads, but is worth repeating because few give it the consideration it deserves: if precision dramatically improves when the felt recoil is reduced by adding a brake or suppressor, then this points to shooter technique being at fault, because a brake or suppressor does not affect the inherent precision of the rifle through recoil reduction, only the ability of the shooter to place shots consistently from the lessening of felt recoil. It's an important distinction and an interesting way to assess your technique. Do groups improve with the extra hardware fitted? I always fail this test miserably and I know my technique is very average.
