[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 980807, member: 48559"] I am strictly an amateur, but have found the following in my own shooting: If I get as straight as possible behind the rifle it is much easier for me to keep the rearward pressure with my firing hand coming straight back into my shoulder pocket, which allows the rifle to recoil in a straight line. If I assume an angled position, I tend to pull sideways just a little, which inevitably pulls the rifle sideways (sometimes only slightly, and sometimes rather wildly) during recoil. If I focus very intently on my hold I can avoid the problem, but staying straight behind the rifle is definitely easier. [/QUOTE]
