[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2950748, member: 42157"] Try as others have said above. I have a son and nephew who get buck/bull fever and miss a lot. Son missed a buck at 135 this year and nephew missed a bull at 150 both MZ. When son in school lived at home never missed, nephew never missed until turned 15. My opinion based on observing them shoot (27yr firearms Instructor, long gun, pistol, Automatic Pistol/Rifle). No question they miss because they flat do not practice and shoot with good fundamentals enough. Suggestion for you. Try to find someone who can teach (not just a good shot) and know how to see issues as they occur and how to show you things to work on. They should be watching every single detail including your eyes for tension indicators. For just you I would suggest you get a 22 pistol and rifle with iron sights and start practicing. Start with basic skills and close range until you can shoot small groups at good distance. Then start including drills and practice that induce some stressors (exercise!!), and eventually drills that force speed with accuracy. I would expect a couple hundred rounds a month using 1-3 round strings. If you don't have ability to get to the range or shoot near your house get an PCP or air soft rifle and pistol to practice with (good ones not $20 junk). PM me if you want and maybe I can help based photos and videos. I used "coaches eye" on my phone to video people so they could see what I was talking about. [/QUOTE]
