What do you think is WRONG with my bench shooting?? Group?

[Gregg C]

A lot of times, people cant their shoulder away from the rifle because the length of pull of the stock is too long for them so they have to cant themselves away to get their face up far enough to see a full view through the scope.

I built myself a stock from scratch. Not being a stock maker, I had no idea what I was doing. I made my length of pull longer, thinking it was more comfortable, but is their a way to judge the LOP ? I noticed yesterday I was struggling to get in the spot for full field of view, especially at max mag.

Also noticed recoil will sometimes lever my hand ( trigger hand ) clean off the stock. Think maybe that angle mentioned causing this. Got to be a way to measure for LOP...anybody got any ideas ?

Here is a video explaining how to measure length of pull.

That's only 80 minutes east from me. I'd enjoy the opportunity to share some range time with him. How could I contact him?

Just thinking...how much pressure do you apply to your shoulder, cheek-piece, and grip?

For BENCH shooting, as little as possible. Just enough to control the gun with follow through; not so much as to lock it down and make it jump.
