Willing to listen to all suggestions concerning one's heartbeat showing in the scope, and how to eliminate/reduce it while shooting from a bench, with bipod only. (NO REAR SUPPORT)
I've reduced the height of my cheek rest, thus reducing pressure there. I'm wearing a partial leather glove on my off hand . I've also reduced the power on my 7-35x56 Atacr. I'm wearing a PAST shoulder recoil pad also.
Don't get me wrong, I like having the heartbeat but, not while watching it and the crosshairs jumping. I'd like to reduce or preferably eliminate it prior to September. Open to try suggestions.

Have you tried free recoil? I steady just ahead of the recoil pad
with my off hand. Works for me but isn't for everyone.

No brakes are allowed, which doesn't help. Especially when shooting 350gr bullets.

With practice and training you can actually control your pulse rate. This is something, as a competitive smallbore shooter, that was required. Many people have never shot with an actual target sling, those who have can totally understand.
With a "controlled" heart beat and proper shooting fundamentals you can actually time the trigger break between beats.

Like Smokelessk said I too shot small bore competitively and my mentor told me to relax as much as possible. Any muscle tension will show up as a pulse in your scope. Also when shooting offhand you will never hold your rifle dead still. The trick is to get the crosshair moving around the 10X ring in circles. Over time and with practice these circles will get smaller and smaller until you reach the point where they rarely go out of the 10X. And never ever jerk the trigger. |

It is all about discipline, training, and execution. The real good shooters, it is actually a full time job for them. I never claimed that position, but I was fortunate enough to be close to several that did. |
