Or, you are more probably canting the rifle when shooting standing?
With any match shooting if we bench test its just a guide to get it in the ballpark, then sight in finally when shooting in the match position be it standing kneeling and prone, and all three will be different!
Recoil is different standing, butt position is different, if you have glasses and an astigmatism you'll have a different head line, all will effect shot fall, although a good trigger technique is essential to good positional shooting. Don't be afraid to adjust your sights, thats why they put adjusters on them.
And, modern standing trigger technique is different to prone technique which is near enough what Adie described. Standing, if you have a two stage take the first stage, and hold on it, refine the aim and acelerate a fast short movement through the second stage, its a little like a controlled stab, the importance is must be fast, only the first joints move, not the whole hand or the gun, and its a very small movement. It only needs hours of practice! Its easier with a 20 gm match trigger but you can also do it with a 500 gm trigger as on the LSR. The problem with a prone take with standing is you move too much during a slow take.
Good shooting
