Shooting Technique Cheek Pressure

[StevenCO]

Can anyone tell me just how much changing cheek pressure and maybe other problems with sight picture through the scope can change the point of impact at 100 yds?

Thanks.

Steve, All I can give you is my thoughts on what I think you're saying. Consistency is everything in shooting. Whether is is in your ammuniton or your shooting technique.
Always be aware of what you're doing. Take note of everything you're doing no matter how inconsequential you think it might be. Try, to the best of your ability, to keep things exactly the same shot after shot.
I had a problem with double groups. I would put 2 shots through one hole and 3 shots through another hole 1/8" to 1/4" away. I didn't think it was my ammo because the group sizes were the same, just in two different spots. I couldn't blame it on the wind, because sometimes the second group was against the condition. Sometimes the shots alternated from one group to the other. Once I isolated the problem, I realized it was in my technique in mounting the rifle. Once I became aware the double groups disappeared

Makes sense.

Thanks.
