[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1407872, member: 10291"] I have shot year round for years and have made it a point to construct my hunting, practice, and competition rifles so they have dimensional and functional characteristics(trigger, stock dimensions, sight picture, etc) that are consistent and easily recognized by my well established “muscle memory”. My goal, years ago, was to reach a point where basic skills became sub-conscious and I only had to think about the target(whether animate or inanimate), and the specific dope for each shot. Any more, my general practice sessions are focused on wind management, and shooting positions with a couple of thousand rounds a year through a 22RF that is matched in ergonomics/weight to my centerfire rifles. I use the same ballistic calculator and methods as I use for LRH and competition. This can be done anytime on my property or locally on pests or small random targets of any sort. The dynamics of wind and dope at 50-300 yards with a properly set up rimfire are relevant and scalable to long range shooting with a centerfire......... great practice, cost effective, and very low maintenance.
