Show Notes
In Episode 261 of the Long Range Shooting and Custom Rifle Building Podcast, we continue our Fundamentals of Marksmanship series with Part Two, revisiting one of our most requested and most re-listened-to topics from the archives.
This episode dives deep into "driving the rifle"—how grip pressure, recoil management, rear-bag control, and consistency behind the rifle directly affect accuracy. We answer listener questions about loose versus firm grip, free recoil versus control, and why most shooting errors happen behind the rifle, not in front of the scope.
We also explore how skills from pistol shooting and archery translate into long-range rifle shooting, and why shooters from those backgrounds often progress faster once they understand the fundamentals.
If you've ever struggled with inconsistent tracking, erratic recoil, or unexplained misses, this episode will help you identify what's really happening—and how to fix it.
