[QUOTE="Conrad, post: 666397, member: 9177"] Well I agree that it is much easier said than done and if the animals sees you at the same time your time is extremely limited. I'm no expert, and I appreciate all the tips, tricks, and experiences we all bring to the table. The more I shoot, the more I learn to try and have an objective when practicing. If it's a windy day, go shoot prone and practice reading the wind. If it's calm (sometimes happens here, not often), well the shooting is not too hard, so make it harder and practice sitting off the sticks, throw in some standing shots, etc. Standing is the hardest, and most of the time we are thinking about practicing other stuff, but I think even if I throw in 5 to 10 shots per session I can improve. That and grab the .22 or .223 for a lot of standing practice. I agree with the point on the barrel. Get the action and stock all set up, and if the barrel isn't my favorite, get a different one. I do look at them as expendable, but I also try and get things done pretty good the first time around. Thanks and good shooting, Conrad [/QUOTE]
