I rarely shoot my flintlock off a bench and was quite surprised the other week how much higher on the target my group landed . It was a full 6-7" higher than offhand at 50 yds ! I knew there was gonna be some difference but not that much at 50 yds . I was holding the forestock in my hand and my hand on rest , Rear wasn't supported except by my shoulder . Is it my technique or do others get that much variation of impact ? Fired 3 shots offhand and landed with the sights so it ain't the rifle .
