Trying to learn to spot my shots.
Is there a thread discussing this?

What's neutral thumb? ThanksOkay. My bad. That was all gone over in the Shoot2HuntU class.
I just didn't connect the dots, or wasn't paying attention when it was mentioned, as to the importance they all play into keeping the sight picture. ( Or it may have been when I was given a "time out" for saying 'flyer' a third time, I'm not sure.) I thought these things were mainly related to shot after shot consistency.
I do have the RokSlide Special less the 6X SWFA (currently using a 10X SWFA while backordered)
I recall shooting prone and mentioning that each time the rifle settled after recoil it was always
a few inches left of target. Was reminded of "neutral thumb" as I was laying my thumb over to the left side a little; not gripping just laying. I corrected and the next shot it dropped right in line and I was like "WTH??!!!".
I'm betting a lot more guys than myself can benefit from these tips. Thanks guys.
Basically laying in line with the bore .What's neutral thumb? Thanks
Thanks for this post. I’m in the same camp with my new RSS. I’m trying to learn the basics (or re-learn since what I was taught has been changed). Subscribed to this thread, and working my way thru THLR on YouTubeI'm betting a lot more guys than myself can benefit from these tips. Thanks guys.
There is a lot of content out there. Some good, some not so good…. But anything that Phil puts out there is 100% solid. Learn all you can from his content….I’ve found getting more square behind the gun and using Phil’s technique here has helped a lot. But my guns are lighter and hard to stay in. My suppressed 7 PRC is a lot more controllable when I bring the gun towards the center of my body and “build a bridge” preloading the bipod. Light hand pressure/engagement of grip. I don’t know much about shooting but this has really helped me manage recoil.
