I came across an article about shooting technique in the latest American Rifleman. The article is "Mastering the lightest of rifles" by Dwight Van Brunt.
There is a quote I have a question about as it conflicts with my current understanding of shooting mechanics and fundamentals. My understanding is that consistency is king. A rest or shooting bag aids to minimize the human contribution of inconsistency. Whatever hold and hand position one practices is what should be used in the field.
Please tell me what you think about this:
"Simply put, the left hand must be used to dampen the initial effects of recoil until the bullet no longer dwells inside the barrel... A better way may be to rest the left hand on the center of the scope with just a bit of downward pressure"
Would give more article but typing on phone and it's slowing down from all the text
