    Changes in the impact point

    Hi all,
    How much does the impact point change between different shots, eg. from the should as opposed to shooting on the bipod?
    When I was at the range sighting my rifle in I used the wooden block as my rest at the front of the stock and at the butt of the stock I had another block of wood but had my hand between the wood and the stock. I didn't have my hand on the front of the stock at all, I just rested it on the wood. I now realise that this was a mistake and that having it on the wood would change the point of impact from shooting out in the bush. I'm shooting 7mm08. Do I need to worry or would the impact point change be so small that it wouldn't make a difference. I'm not shooting long range, just bush stalking and at the very most shooting at 200m for a clearing or a slip. I don't shoot with a bipod. What do you think?
    Cheers
    Yeah nah bro

    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt.
