I give you points for a good and creative design concept--and the proof is in the shooting : ) I used all kinds of sleds for years and ended up not liking them. If you get a really good one--than sure enough they will get you good shots. But the problem is even though they largely remove you from the system--they largely remove you from the system. My personal non-professional opinion is that the real reason bags work well is that they still incorporate your left and right hands and shoulder as contact points in the system while taking out the "steady/level fore-end problem." I'm not sure what the physical/mechanical reason is--but I find a couple of my rifles fire more accurately when I'm hands-on with a slight back-pull into the shoulder area. I do this even with my magnum pounders, and oddly enough it doesn't result in any pain.

The other thing I've learned from doing thousands of poor shots--if I even think of recoil/flinch/boom etc--that is almost a sure guarantee of a less than optimal shot. I still make these mistakes, but with practice am getting gradually past most of them.
