[QUOTE="No Fear in Accuracy, post: 1744, member: 240"] I’m not sure if there is such a thing as “having a bad day in hunting”? Some of you have been practising shooting LR in most seasons. Some days you shot poorly, other days you shot extremely well. It could happen to anyone at the 1000 yards matches or any matches however it shouldn’t happen to hunting because you need one or few shots to hit the game. You wouldn’t want to wound the animal due to a poor shot or “having a bad day shot”. I presumed that it is easier to get more accurate in hunting than at the matches because you always have a spotter to tell you where the bullet hits. Then the second shot will be more accurate. At the matches, you have to shoot 10 shots (Heavy Rifles) in a limit of time. It may not give you more accurate because you may not have time to read the wind flags or your mental is too busy reloading and focus for the next shot. Is this correct? I don’t have any experiences in 1000 yards competitions but I do have experiences in Air Pistol competitions. I’ll let someone elaborate better than me. If Darryl doesn’t mind if I could use as his example that he shot 10 shots with his 6mm IMP. in 16.5lb Restricted Gun Class on May 5, 2001 at the Williamsport range. The group was 34.781” and the score was 67. I don’t mean to embarrass you. I did shot poorly in Air Pistol once in a while even though I’m in the Master class, (the highest level). Was he having a bad day? Did he concentrate well on that day? What would happen if he didn’t do well in hunting even though he has many years of experiences in shooting? How can we keep shooting pretty accurate in every time we go hunting? I wanna say “I’m having a good day in hunting”. :P -Denny 300 Tomahawkallthewaaay [ 03-24-2002: Message edited by: Me? 300 Tomahawk :P ] [/QUOTE]
