rg1Tips on Shooting Accurately?
Having trouble shooting consistantly with .223 Rem Pistol. Much different than a stocked rifle. I have a Rem. XP100R with Burris 3x12 pistol scope. IF I bag it well it'll shoot less than an inch but shooting from its bipod alone or simply resting the stock on a rest I'm very inconsistant. One shot I can feel it recoil up and to the left, next shot feels different. I can almost call my shot by feeling the recoil. Also, it seems to jump off the bipod legs. Any tips on holding and shooting rifle caliber pistols?

I have the same setup. What has worked well for me is using the bipod in conjunction with a bag under the grip. I just use my old suede bunny ear bag and control elevation both by placement on the bag and squeezing it. The consistancy is the key. Always do it the same way for each shot. BTW, the bipod legs on mine also jump from the bench.

Dan WebsterI agree with smike308, consistancy is key, although I have a single shot pistol in .44 mag and my scores improved by learning to cycle the action with my left hand and not removing my right hand from the grip, I didn't realise how important grip hold was in pistol shooting till I wanted to see my groups improve. I also cup my left hand under the pistol whilst shooting and this seems to dampen the recoil as well. I don't bi-pod mine but I'm sure the legs would go flying if I did as it has a good 3-4 inches of muzzle flip.

xphunterIs your bi-pod the "S" model (swivel)?

rg1I have the B-Square Roto-Tilt bipod. Don't know if the tilting helps or hurts?
