Title: lead sled with a springer
Post by: lostchild on September 16, 2020, 08:10:24 AM

Haven't posted in a while, life happened.  I've got a springer  dual cal that  I would like to start shooting again.  Can a springer be shot in a lead sled that is made for firearms?  Thanks in advance   lost...

Sure it can be shot from a sled.

But don't expect any accuracy from a springer shot with a two-point rest or in a fixed rest like the lead sled.

Any search will provide this information because it is common knowledge.

Not familiar with the lead sled, but I do shoot from a sandbag.  I place an open hand under the forearm, between the sandbag and forestock.  The rear stock is not rested on anything, other than being barely against my shoulder.  I can say this works, I can get good groups and if sighted in like this POI doesn't change when I move away from the bench.  But this is basically a very minor variation of the traditional artillery hold, if its variation at all.
