[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 225902, member: 319"] Ditto that. I like to humble myself by doing timed drills at multiple targets at different distances. Not rapid fire or anything, but 4-5 shots in a minute, alternating between targets at different distances. From "field positions." Whether you're dialing or holding elevation, you need to do it, compensate for windage, take the shot then reset your mind and do it for a different target with different values. It's amazing how the time pressure makes things more difficult. That's not meant to exactly simulate any scenario I expect to face while hunting, but simply getting the heart pumping and making you think/perform under a bit of pressure. If you're going to twist a knob the wrong way, forget what the marks on your reticle mean, not notice a change in the wind, etc, it's likely to happen under these conditions, not a lazy shot you took a 1/2 hour to set up for.
