Yes, but the grouping is good
Next time out I will adjust accordingly, just happy with the results.

There are 2 absolute differences in shooting off the bench and off the sticks.
Bench shooting , you are more relaxed, sitting more upright, relaxed hold on the gun , the forearm most likely sitting /being held by sand bags or mechanical shooting rest and little or no pressure on the forearm of the rifle by your left hand, and you are not pulling the gun tightly into the shoulder and breathing not interfering as you are not contorted and breathing more relaxed/controlled.
Shooting off the sticks, your left hand holds the sticks and the forearm of the rifle which puts different pressure on the rifles forearm verses bench shooting, your right hand has a tighter grip on the pistol grip of the gun, it is held tighter into your shoulder and your breathing then is magnified through your whole system and into the firearm as you can see the cross hairs moving more which you admitted.
I do see though that you are not tightly holding the rifle forearm with you left hand , however your sticks are not padded like sand bags or a mechanical rest which also makes a difference.
Someone mentioned using bi pods [Harris ] , again a rifle will shoot differently off of bi pods than a bench, something to keep in mind.
Till you learn by practice to shoot off the sticks more like you do when shooting off the bench, your off the sticks shooting will always show up in larger groups .
Hate to say this Frank , but practice, practice , and practice more then it will all come together.

Love the homemade sticks, something we all need to practice more is shooting off sticks. I always tell our hunters its the best thing they can do for themselves before joining us on a hunt. Now i really should practice what i preach and follow your example Frank.

Has too much time on their hands
When I shoot off my sticks (bipod), my left hand grasps the sticks, to have more stability. Depending on how I am seated, I also use the left hand in a underhand butt stock grip, this way it crosses my left arm on chest when gripping butt stock. Love your pictures and explanations as always. I have learned so much from your posts and really appreciate them.

That’s good shooting at 150!
Have you been crimping the loads?
