    I could be loading the bipod up too hard and possibly not evenly - I find it uncomfortable to keep my shoulders square with the rifle.

    Can someone explain natural point of aim to me?
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    Problem found!!



    Natural point of aim = rifle naturally resting with point of aim on the target, when in shooting position. No muscle required to be on target.


    Bipod spikes allow too much bipod pressure to be exerted by people who don't understand why they're leaning into it, and allow cross-tension to build up easily if making adjustments in position without lifting the bipod
    puku, fernleaf and PERRISCICABA like this.
