[QUOTE="chessman, post: 55525, member: 2451"] [b]Re: Looks like I\'ve come to the right place[/b] Excellent suggestions! I didn’t think to mention the notebook. I keep a book on every rifle I shoot. I keep targets with load data noted on them, chronograph data, and every other note I can think to make on each outing. Keeping the book like a journal will definitely teach you to pay attention to what is going on when things go well, as well as which variables seem to cause the most problems for you and your setup. I tell all my friends that the best way to learn to shoot high-powered rifles well is to master the .22LR at 100 yards. Those little, slow bullets are very unforgiving of any shooter errors. They are in the barrel long enough that the shooter’s faults AFTER the trigger is squeezed are really accentuated. Go hang out at, or participate in, .22LR 100 yard prone matches. You will pick up a lot of tips that apply to all shooting, and it won’t cost a fortune while you hone your skills. [/QUOTE]
