[QUOTE="Daddy Justin, post: 97159, member: 3343"] Had my rifle shooting under 1 in. groups at 100 yards off of bench using sweat socks filled with sand. Since I was doing so well, I invested in the Caldwell little Rock rest and a rear bag. I filled both with lead shot since I had read that this worked well because it was so stable. First day on the range and I was never steadier. However my groups opened up to about 5 in. After about 20 rounds with 2 different rifles, my brother and I decided that it must be the rest. So I folded up a towel and put it over the front rest to make it softer and moved the rear bag farther back so the gun could come back easier without hitting the rear bag. My first group was 3/4 of an in. What is the problem? Is it the front rest or the rear rest? I was going to try and fill the front bag with regular sand and see if the this helps. Thanks for the help. Justin [/QUOTE]
