i guess im a little confused as to how a rest or a hold could affect velocity?
i sometimes joke about pulling the trigger harder on longer shots. but according
to that logic it might have an affect?
as for the anti cant devices and the affect of canting on long shots.
there is no argument that canting can affect the shot.
when shooting at targets time isnt usually an issue. in a hunting situation however
that is often not the case. you can take all the time you need but dont be expecting
cooperation from your target. at least in this camp and most others i know its get it done
or get off the gun. a year is a long time to wait for (maybe) another oppurtunity.
an instinctive shooter will be better than a precision shooter every time in a hunting situation.
that includes long range.
