Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

[Formidilosus]

It has become obsolete to my needs, I might let it go.

Chambering?

My next option is an area that I can shoot the 22lr at sub 75 yards, probably more like 50 yards. Any suggestions on how to modify these targets or ranges to suit my limitations?

Thanks

Print targets at 50%.

308. Bought it new to build a 6BR and broke my back before I could get it done. Round count is 40, have 2 for sure maybe 3 magazines.

Let me know what you want for it.

Excellent class, Both are equally important.

 

[Formidilosus]

Some were asking about reduced ranges and .22’s.

50 yards, targets half size. T1x.

If Form doesn't take it, let me know. I would be interested.

Shot it with the 223 today and ended up with a 12. I suck freehand.

I put these together for myself from Formidilosus' original, but I'm happy to share. I threw in a 25 yard version for airgun in my back yard, too. Airgun would be a little different having to pump the spring action so I have no idea how it will be for the timed runs, but I think imperfect practice will be an improvement over my usual no practice. Should find out tomorrow.

 

[Formidilosus]

Thank you Firth.

You bet, I've really appreciated your posts over various forums through the years. Not much of a poster, but I enjoy giving back in the rare occurrence I have something to offer.

I know I’ll need a cheat sheet for the first few trips.

No wind really helps. The targets still say I stink. Makes me appreciate Form knocking out a 17/20 with gusts of 25 mph.



I also took Form's advice to train with dummy rounds and found that equally as enlightening. Highly recommended!

Anyone have any tips for improving offhand steadiness?

Trying to figure out of a highpower/olympic stance would be very practical with typical hunting gear on. I would assume it would considering bone support and NPA versus using muscles.

Thanks!

I have the same question. I haven’t found that type of standing position to be more consistent, especially if there’s any wind at all, without a shooting jacket. Might be poor technique on my part. Looking forward to people’s replies.

Try using your sling to tighten up your offhand shooting. Heck a decent sling will tighten up all shots and with practice won't slow you down.

When you start getting older and want to shoot offhand, a shooting stick is quick and convenient too.

Nothing really beats knowing your trigger and some confidence.

Very solid effort Stu

Stu,

So you can use a sling as Rich stated, however, I don’t usually have sling on hunting rifles, and there is the very real consequence of using a sling and creating torque. Almost everything I do is working towards neutral recoil. Instead I would suggest for most to learn to do it without the aid first. The highpower stance and grip can work, but it is difficult to achieve with a pack on. I shoot with an aggressive stance and grip (modern 3 Gun, trap, etc.).

Most misses are not due to technique or wobble. Most are due to flinching and anticipation. Training the flinch/anticipation is the first step.

Stu mentions training with dummy rounds above which sounds like a great idea. I’m assuming they are mixed in with live rounds to show if you are flinching? Any ideas on how to accomplish this without a partner to load my mag?

Easy to do if you have detachable magazines. Load them differently, toss them in a bag and grab one blind.
