Hi Guys,
Trying the prone position tonight in the basement, I'm noticing something I've struggled with but haven't mentioned before.
When I am locked into the rifle, whether it's the web sling or leather, and everything is tight, sling high on the left arm, left elbow under the rifle, legs flat, my rifle will be aimed UNDER the black (i.e. I'm shooting under the target). Pulling the sling tighter doesn't make the rifle muzzle go higher, but makes shouldering the butt next to impossible. That's why I have tended to "choke up" with my left hand on the rifle, so I can get on target. But this causes loss of position from shot to shot, as I'm sure I'm not doing exactly the same from shot to shot.
Should I just crank up the sling another notch, or put the sling low on my arm, or is there something else I'm messing up with my position here? Thanks.
