Rear bag squeezing is something I am looking into with my LV gun. I would like some advise on a good bag to get and what to avoid. And any tech. tips on set up and bag prep/ firmness would be greatly appreciated.........Thank You

Yay! A bag squeezer!!!

I'm gonna tell you that if this is new, you've got some habits to break...maybe. First, remove that front stop as it's only going to cause problems. You have to convince yourself that the position of the rifle on the bags doesn't matter. Doesn't matter which bag you choose as long as your hand can squeeze it comfortably and it doesn't move (much) when the rifle recoils. One of those sand rings Skip Otto sold fixes most of that movement but anything you can come up with is just fine as long as it's legal. The windage top is a good thing to have as well. It gets your rifle where you want it quickly after a poor setup and when the wind picks up, or drops, a bit. The windage knob is the only knob you turn and you just turn it to get close. Slide the rifle and squeeze the bag - shoot and repeat. You should be able to shoot five shots in a matter of seconds. Speed is the entire premise of bag squeezing. You won't shoot smaller groups but rather smaller aggs.

Oh yeah...when a sighter shot is neccesary, just push the rifle forward and shoot one!

One bit of "theory" may be necessary here. Some believe that the game is to shoot the smallest groups you can possibly shoot. Well, that's OK (it is OK) but all you really need to do is shoot smaller, on average, than those in attendance at that match on that day.
 
Thank You. I am looking very forward to getting it all together. I have a rock solid rest that will be perfect for a quality windage top......The rest is a boat load of trigger time...:cool:
 
I have just changed to squeezing the bag. Bought the Sinclair rest that was on sale at Midway. Lots of crazy went a way. I am Super Shoot now. First match since I have changed. Wish me luck I will need it. Thanks Wilbur for the technique.
