[QUOTE="Guest, post: 10801"] The most important first step in using a BGR is to ensure it fits correctly and is comfortable under recoil. Heavy recoiling rifles also require a much [more than normal] more aggresive grip by both hands and body weight over front foot. That is a forward "lean" in order to maintain control over fast repeat shots otherwise we are thrown off balance onto the back foot with rifle elevating to the sky. Practicing sportings clays is excellent as this encourages the natural traverse with the body rather than using the arms to track left or right. It will also help with the balance referred to above. Apart from actual practice as on the jugs Brent mentioned [excellent as there is instant visual gratification] dry fire will help enormously.A tip for dry fire - practice every movement slowly! This will increase your speed when it is really needed. You will programme your subconsious to perform best if you have practiced smooth economical movement slowly and perfectly - e.g. gun mount[critical to a fast accurate shot] and tracking multipule targets. I have had some experience on these matters as I have owned and shot 375 H&H; 416 Rigby; 500/465 H&H; 500 Jefferys here in Australia along with 6 trips to Africa. For many years I was IPSC Mastergrade as well which taught me a great deal about speed and controllability. MY .02. APB. [/QUOTE]
