Zeroing & Load Development Set Up/Position

[Heel_N_Shoot]

I’m sure this has been covered at some point but I’m curious as to everyone’s position when zeroing or shooting for load development whether it be bipod, bag, prone, bench etc. Pictures are a plus.

Always on a bench and always with a bipod and rear bag, same ones I use when hunting. My back is f'd up, I'm not getting on the ground till I shoot something on a hunt. Hasn't made a bit of difference on game out to 500.

My Teratorn pack with a shooting bag attached sitting on a table or on the ground, with both using a rear bag.

Seated at bench with front and rear bags. Shooting 10 shot groups at 100, 200, 300 yards. only interested in testing my rifle/optic/ cartridge system to see what its capabilities and limitations are. Once I have it sighted and I have good dope, then I practice building and executing field positions.

I like prone. Front and rear bags

Seated at a bench with front and rear bags, but I need to improve my bags. I think they are too full and I am getting some lateral instability.

Bench, front and rear bags.

Champion Gorilla for front.

I prefer to lay in the dirt… bipod and rear bag. Practice like you hunt. But I’m getting soft & drag out a bench with front pedestal rest & rear bag if the ground is wet… or dusty… or it’s cold… or it’s hot… or too hard… or too soft.

One year I set up my ice fishing shelter for the whole winter with a bench inside and a Mr Buddy heater… that was the best

That being said, I’m superstitious & always dial in my final zero off the ground with a bipod or off my pack, however I expect to be shooting in the field.

Dont have a great picture but lately it's been a heavy fill schmedium over a block of wood up front and a pint sized game changer for a rear bag, off a bench.

Traditionally i just did bipod and rear bag on a bench or prone. I think a good front bag rest is better than a bipod for consistent recoil management and input to the rifle.

A true bench rest style front rest and bunny ear rear bag would be the best answer but a guy can improvise pretty good without the extra expenditure. Most ranges have sand bags that can be built into good front and rear rests.
