When resting the barrel directly on the sticks does it change the point of impact vs shooting off sand bags or other rests?

runngun,
Gregg ask me the same thing. I have not noticed a POI shift or accuracy problems. Your mileage may very.

A way to test it if it is changing POI or not is to shoot it both ways off of the sticks and the way you originally sighted it in at the farthest distance you would use the sticks.
Even if there is some POI change it may not be enough to be an issue at those distances for the game you are hunting.
What it ultimately does though is give you confidence of knowing what you and your rig is capable of from varying field rests at your max distances.

And confidence is the better part of equation.

There is nothing better than tested/field proven confidence that comes from practicing from field positions.
Get off of the bench, once you are zeroed and have your load developed!
