Different POI for different shooters

Yup. So easy to burn excessive amounts of powder without a really good cheek weld.

Darrel Holland did a cheek weld post some years ago on this forum. Its well worth the read. Short version is that the cheek rest needs to be parallel to the scope axis and you need to be able to smash your cheek down firmly.

My cheek barely touches the stock and I do fine.

Well I guess this is a better outcome than my son being a lousy shot.

If it was me, I would pull the bipod, and both of you shoot free recoil from a front rest, watch him closely and go from there.
When I let kids shoot my rifles, if I hit, before I turn it over to them I crank the scope down 1/2 moa, or .2mils, they cannot load a bipod like an adult.
I am slightly lost on the left aspect of this though, IME, kids have some great trigger control.

Yep, we all have different check weld pressure/anchor points. This reminds me of a bow hunter I met at the archery range a few years ago. He anchors his thumb behind his ears/bottom area. It looks weird but it works for him.

All my rifles I count on have adj cheek pcs. I adj them, more as a guide than a point of contact.

Yep, you have to do what works and provide you with the best consistency.

Then how do you know you both shoot same poi if she hasn't shot yet?

OK…..she and I shoot "her" rifle to the same POI. I guess that I shouldn't have assumed it would go the other way! memtb

My wife doesn't shoot much but has shot everything we own even the 338lmView attachment 367621

Apparently my wife's recoil tolerance is somewhere above 40 ft/lbs….but, draws the line somewhere below 60 ft/pounds! We don't use "weed burners", so we just have to deal with the thump or not shoot! memtb
