What Shooting Stabilizer Has Been Most Effective For You?

[ron]

Anyone can shoot all sand bagged up or off those expensive sleds because it takes the human error out of the equation. Use a bipod like this to see what your really made of.

The OP started this thread by asking what is the most effective stabilization technique and all the replies have built an awesome thread though we have not covered a couple of key things that affect accuracy even when the rifle hold is perfect. One of the ones I am always dealing with is wind which can play havoc with anyone's perfect hold. We'll have to start a new thread on wind, minute of deer, and maybe even parallax but not today, I don't have enough caffeine yet to do math

Okay, so this is nothing against the member who posted / uses this device, the wording just struck me as amazing:
Tactical bean bag.

Is there NOTHING that can't be made "tactical"???

The OP is talking about shooting off a stable platform at 100 yards. Wind will not hardly touch a good sleek bullet at that range. Even at 450 yards, the other day, I was shooting my 6.5 creedmoor and the wind was pushing me around more than it was the bullet. I'm talking full value Columbia River Gorge winds. Those of us that shoot in the Gorge, know what I'm talking about... Anyway, with the 140gr. pill, I easily hit 4" steel plates with no misses. On paper, I shot a 3.4" 5 shot group just to see how far the wind was pushing the little hornady pill...:

Not really much to be concerned about...

Now, if he's talking about shooting a 22lr at that range, then yeah, maybe we need to talk wind and how it's going to affect said bullet...

Not really. Tactical is practical... Don't you know...

Me, I just want to see them tactical beans.

Oh, this is good!

You have enough ideas and choices. It's time to pick one or two, try them and put some rounds down range.

Your next thread will be on the lines of 'I tried XYZ and it didn't help my groups as much as I wanted.' At that point you will be a hopeless addict like the rest of us.
