GOOD (it's almost supper time)

Some folks like to rest their supporting hand on the front bag but I just put my rifle directly on the bag. I don't know if it makes any difference. What is important is that the bag be supporting the stock never the barrel and that you place the same spot on the gun stock on front bag for every shot. I place the toe of the butt of the gun on a rear bag. Then I adjust my sights up or down by squeezing the rear bag with my left hand. Having my left hand to squeeze the rear bag is why I don't use my left hand to support the front stock. I am holding the gun with my right hand as normal when shooting and I place my cheek on the exact same spot on the comb for each shot. Squeeze or release the rear bag to adjust up and down and when you are on your target, squeeze the trigger.
And that's how I set up my rifle on sand bags to sight it in. It's not the only way to do it and I won't say it is the best way but I will say that it is the best way for me. :thumbsup:
