Improving rifle accuracy

[Dbap]

Bipod. All my set ups have one. Harris 6-9". Also, a rear bag when practicing from a bench or prone. It's quick and easy to spot game, drop the bipod and get on the ground for a shot. If I'm not in a blind but on some high ground overlooking an area I prep where I'll be laying prone first thing. If it's spot and stalk, in most cases you'll be able to deploy your bipod in less time as you would be trying to use your pack or something else for a rest.

Practice is all it boils down to.

I run bipods in the front. I don’t load them very much either. Rear bag. And light grip on the rifle. Free recoil is my preference.

I hate hearing, “the shot should surprise you”. False. You need trigger control and you tell them gun EXACTLY when to go off. No surprise on any aspect of it. Don’t gorilla grip it. Take your time. Slow and steady.

Get you a light recoiling, cheap to shoot training rifle. 22, 223, 22-250 etc. Start burning powder. And practice. You’ll see any flinch you make. Any movement of the gun. And you’ll be a better shooter.

I also don’t run ultralight rifles. Much harder to keep steady when you’re winded and that shot matters. 8-10lbs all in is perfect IMO.

this, just like any other skill. Time at the range is what will make you a more accurate shooter.

not to sound like a jerk but if you bought a rifle from APR, the rifle is great. Weak point is the person behind the trigger.
