Rick.......
I've actually tried something similar to what you are suggesting here. I read on another forum about this form of light to no touch shooting. Although the Grendel is a "light recoiling rifle" it still operates with a heavy enough recoil to dislodge the rifle every time that I fired. I installed one of the Odin tunable compensators and must say that it does indeed tame the muzzle rise. I too thought that less touch from me would improve being able to stay on target. As far as the shot surprising me I have tried that approach and felt that this didn't allow me to have any pre-shot or follow thru trigger control. I also lost my sight picture with each successive shot. I will keep working on technique and appreciate each and every bit of useful information that I am able to acquire on this forum. This thread just proves to me that we can approach issues from many different directions and at least test them so long as they aren't dangerous. I THINK MY BIGGEST TAKEAWAY IS THAT MY ACCURACY SUCKS BECAUSE I'M THE ONE BEHIND THE SCOPE AND I NEED MORE SHOOTING TIME.

Set the rifle on the rest and use the rest and bags to get proper sight alignment not your hold on the.gun. Make sure the rear bag is directly under where your cheek contacts the stock and put no more pressure on the stock than required to get proper sight alignment. Make sure the rifle is free to slide back in recoil without hanging up on anything on the bags or rest. Make absolutely sure that you have.removed all parallax from your sight picture. Position your shoulder behind the stock to catch it in recoil but don't put any pressure on the stock.
Now with a steady sight picture and with no pressure on the rifle place the first joint of.your trigger finger on the trigger and begin to put pressure on the trigger straight back until it fires. It should suprise you when it goes off.
You should be able to just slide the rifle forward with your.shoulder back in position for the same sight.picture.
Do it properly 5 times in a row and.it.should be.the best group you have shot.
Warning !!! Don't try this with your 7 mag
