Use the bottom of your fist to pound on the stock with it resting evenly between the ears of the bag. Do this every time the weapon and bag are brought to the line and placed on the shooting mat or bench. You will be surprised how much this helps. Doing this will eliminate vertical caused by sand settling slowly from cheek pressure and recoil over a number of shots. I recall Bryan Litz taught us this when he was coach of the Michigan Rifle Team F/TR.
