A new direction

Eric.

One more thing you might do is find the dead spot in your barrel to rest your sticks. It makes a difference.
If you don't know this already do this.
I hold my rifle at the balance point in my hand loose. Some hold it by the wrist. Now take two fingers and slap the barrel from the breach forward every inch or so and you will feel the barrel vibrate. Move forward as fast as you want till all of a sudden the vibration stops and it will have a flat sound. This is your null, or dead spot. mark this point and do it again. My rifles all vary where this point is. one is 10-1/2" from the muzzle some less. One rifle has two dead spots.
Take and wrap some electrical tape around the barrel at this point or put a small dap of paint there and that is where they rest their barrel on the cross sticks. This makes a difference.
I wish I would have looked you up at Lodi and said howdy.
