This was exactly my experience a few years ago. I used to shoot hundreds of arrows with my bow multiple times a week but only shot my rifle to check zero before deer season. It saddens me that I never connected the dots that practicing with a rifle is equally as important as practicing with a bow.Wow. This will become the first drill I do at the range. I am left handed and left eye dominant however I decided to do this with a ruger american 223 with SWFA 10x right handed action. I got every shot off working bolt with my right hand. 10/20
Did this with my left hand t3x 308 and had 2 failures to launch in the 20 sec time frame. 7/20.
Funny how I shoot my trad bow almost daily and clearly thought my rifles are a breeze, then Form says get ****** and think again.
What cheek riser is that?Tried this for the first time today. Definitely need to work on off hand. 2 misses on the first round using 6x, but hit the rest using 3x. Some of that was luck as I had a hard time keeping it in a 12 inch wobble zone. For some reason I'm shooting high when seated and shooting off the pack. It took a bit to get used to seated with the pack on too. 12/20.

I have it on 2 riflesWhat cheek riser is that?
Yeah I’ve found i overcompensate and end up telling myself to “just send it!” In my head and then I take a poor shot.I've done this a couple times, need many more. As someone who's spent way too much time prone and bench shooting, the one thing that really stood out to me is the odd feeling of breaking a trigger with such a big ass wobble zone when off hand @ 100 yds. It was hard to do even though I think i was 50% on the offhand portions, wobbling off your target that much makes it hard to send a round down range.
It looks like you have good trigger control and know exactly when the trigger breaks. Good shooting.Went out and tried this today. Savage model 10 with a 17” x-caliber 6mm Creedmoor that I just put on last week. Shooting Hornady 108 eldm. Started cold with no warm ups. Shot 13/20. Lots of room for improvement but pleasantly surprised for first time doing the drill. 20 seconds goes way faster than I thought it would! Couldn’t make time for my last prone shot and one of my timed prone shots was after the buzzer. Not sure which one hit the circle so I didn’t count it.
