	My equipment for .22 LR uses the same benchrest setup using a BSA Martini International MKII with a RKS barrel with an extension for shooting iron sights. When I shoot BR50 I offset and aim at the green bullseye circle edge to offset for changes to the wind direction. This enables placement of more shots in the bullseye. On this target the shots in the green ring were from not offsetting enough for the displacement of the bullet by the wind - ussually due to slight variation in wind intensity. If I had not offset my aiming point the bullet strikes would have been outside the inner green ring. I use the wind chart to indcate how the wind will change the impact of the bullets. All the best with your surgery.

	Here's a photo of one of the set ups. Most of the shooters at EG have a very similar style. I'll see if I can find a shot without a scope in the way. The rest is a Randolph, but there are Bald Eagles, Caldwells, and Home made designs on the line

	Note that the above wind drift chart is for right hand twist barrels. Things change a bit with a left twist.

I have visited several sites which are more focused toward ARA, but non that I found went into any great detail of technique or any help on the issues I am addressing. If you can give me exact site or link to sites that have this, I would greatly appreciate. Now that I know that you're shooting the ARA Factory Class, I thnk that a part of your problem may be "cant." I'm not aware of any Factory Class legal rifles that come with a flat fore arm and the rules do not permit a competitor to add a "plate" to the fore arm - so cant is something to be aware of. JackHughs Man, you sure are wasting a lot of paper there Jack. I find with a little concentration I can carefully place my bullets all over the paper so none of it goes to waste. I’ll be happy to coach you on my improved technique if you like. Froggie
