Springer off a bag

[Growlamunkay]

Back when I shot my RWS 48 often I used a front bag almost exclusively. I had a set of golfballs on ts that Id put 100 yards out next to a steel gong; once Id confirmed my hold over on the gong I would mover over to the golf balls and knock them over. I won a couple bets pulling that stunt. If I remember right I had to hold 3 1/2 hash lines over on my Hawke Varmint scope to hit the balls at that distance (could be wrong, that was during the Obama administration ammo crunch and my memory isn't stellar). Needless to say, a front bag on a springer, at least that springer, is a beautiful thing.

I use both an adjustable tripod with a small u shaped bag and then I use just a single large bag.

Always to sight in But the bag is covered with a multifold large towel Many times when using quality pellets I get clover leaf groups at 33 feet

Have many rests, but I'm coming around to the idea that whatever floats most easily and provides minimal impedance to the natural fore/aft travel and shot cycle is the best. I'm not sure what that preferred buffer is yet, but I'm sure working on it. I'll place a very fine micro fiber cloth between rest and rifle tomorrow for research.

Nice idea. I will try that as well.
