When I fire from a surported prone position I usally have the tip of the stock on the rest and my front hand just behind the rest holding the stock downwards.
I was told this was wrong and i should have my front hand in a fist under the rear sling swivel. So I gave it a go with my Weatherby and found I could hold the rifle much steadier but when I pulled the trigger the rifle kicked high off the rest into the air and i missed.
Is there something I'm missing? Should i also be holding onto the sling or something like that? I like this new way because I can hold the rifle steadier but why does it kick up so much?
