Question about the head bob method. Say I have a target set at 20yds. Now I know that the numbers on the AO bell/sidewheel are not always correct/correspond to the yardage of where your target is at. Ok, so your target is at a 20 lasered/measured away. You are at your bench with your rifle and you adjust the AO till you get the clearest crispest (if thats a word) and you proceed to do the "head bob" method.
My question is:
When doing this method, do you move your head up and down or move it from left to right or both?
Reason I am asking is because when I do the up and down method and the reticle isn't moving against the target I will do the left to right head movement and the reticle will move. And vice/versa. So which one is correct? Or find the happy medium between them both?

Hey Jay,
I was wondering the same recently. The conclusion I came to was that parallax relates to the distance between the CL of the scope/sight and the CL of the barrel bore. Therefore only vertical bob should be considered.
I await someone more knowledgeable to confirm or correct.

Chiming in mostly to follow, but in theory both will up/down or left/right will show the parallax, if present, but not just one and not the other. The trick is to bob without bumping or nudging the gun too.
