How to best use shooting sticks

[Distant Thunder]

Big A,

I will add one thing to what Don said, exactly where along the barrel of your BPCR you rest it can make a BIG difference in the accuracy and the POI. As with everything else about these rifles consistency will rule the day. There are many, many ways to achieve match winning accuracy but consistency is common to them all.

Welcome to a great sport. There is nothing in the shooting sports that I've ever experienced that is as satisfying as shooting a good score at 1000 yards with rifle design from the late 1800s and black powder propelling a lead bullet at insanely low fps. I was hooked after my first shot at 1000 yards. Twenty three years later I look forward to my next match as much as the first. Enjoy!
