Hi All,
I am just getting into shooting with my first rifle (rem 700 in 308 Winchester), and have had some trouble staring to shoot accurately. The range which I frequent only offers bench shooting positions (to my knowledge), and while attempting to zero my scope, the groups that I have been shooting have been rather wide, even though I have a consistent point of aim.
This may be because every time I pull the trigger, I end up jerking back along with the rifle (I would postulate due to bad recoil management). Could some experienced shooters possibly provide some tips on any magical body/hand/head/rifle positioning or easily-available equipment that would help me control the rifle more effectively? (I am assuming that the problem mainly lays in technique, and not my relatively-average upper-body-strength or body mass.)
Thanks,
Steve
