This is my 3rd year shooting small bore and just upgraded to a 2007 Anschutz rifle
I have been slowly adjusting it but still have a muzzle jump to the left
I bought the book "ways of the rifle "which talks about it but doesn't go it to detail how to correct it
any suggestions would be appreciated as I am sill learning this rifle with all the stuff you can adjust
thanks

Re: muzzle jump to the left
It is almost impossible to diagnose without photos of the position. ....elbow positions and angles, sling position, and shoulder pressure...

Re: muzzle jump to the left
What position are you having this trouble with? Depending on the position the answer will vary. I.e. in standing it could be that your balance is off or youre position is twisted funny, in prone it could be that you have your support arm coming back around over your elbow and could try rotating the sling cuff in toward your body a bit, and for kneeling it could be a similar issue to what you have in prone or even a combination of the problems from both standing and prone depending on how you have your position set up.

Re: muzzle jump to the left
IMO muzzle movement, whether it is movement before the shot or afterwards, is very difficult to diagnose under any circumstances. With my own shooting I decided long ago to stop worrying about it and to concentrate on a consistent position and a good NPA. MONB
