Took my first pr class last weekend. I have been attending several training classes a year for the last 6 years....however I haven't had any instruction on long distance. Everything went pretty well. My biggest problem was discomfort while in prone. I tried several combinations of bipod height and body position and not much worked. Is this something that just takes getting used to or am I doing something wrong. I dont have any physical issues holding me back.... so any feedback is appreciated

It's a position your body is not used to. As long as your rifle is set up right, which the instructors should have taken time and made sure it was right, the more you shoot prone the more your neck and body will get used to it and there will be less aches. Just make sure you are straight behind the rifle and not canted off to the side and you will slowly get used to it.

Does your stock allow you to completely relax and get behind the scope without straining? If not, that's a big problem.
