There are just a few variables, and somehow, by the end of the session, I have tried changing all of them three or four times, never completing the "system".
It's easy to change more than one thing from group to group; I think this is why I do best with a heavily loaded bipod, it removes a few variables from my ability to change. Of course, loading the bipod itself introduces variables...
KSW:
He, he. Here is how it happens. A shooter approaches this thing with all the best plans. And nothing works well. So he changes something and it doesn't work any better. So he changes a bunch of things and it doesn't work any better. Finally he gets frustrated, slaps down a couple of sand bags, gets in a position that he is comfortable with, and then gets aggressive with that position and his rifle. Force put on it like he means business and his focus on sight picture and the shots. Four or five quick shots, each with a good sight picture and he looks again and sees success. All business like it was his profession.
And he tries it again and doesn't do well. Why? Because instead of getting down to business again, he saw success and thought he could improve on it. So he shifted his focus to some aspect of his shooting that he thought would bring better results and he failed. Shift attention away from the sight picture and shot and a marksman will walk into big time problems.
I go through this periodically but I can catch myself most of the time and go back to what works.
