[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2345375, member: 42157"] Awesome you are going to try new things. I will try not to complicate things. My experience over the years this has worked for me the best. I start with a simple 22 with a normal scope...say 2-7, 3-9 like a deer hunting rifle. Not one of those tiny old school 22 scopes with a 1/2 inch tube. I like to shoot steel if you have that available because it is instant feed back and important in my process. Starting with a larger target and getting smaller targets as you get better helps. Start by just aiming at a target with both eyes open, and then close your off eye and verify your sight picture. If it is jumping left to right get your eyes more in line with the sights and target. Get comfortable with the changes if any in what you see for sight picture and target alignment. Then move on to the next key training stage. Start by shooting off hand and swinging to different targets at different distances and elevations if possible without lowering rifle. Anything to make you fully adjust your vision, gun position, body positin, and sight requirements. Start with rifle mounted and alternate targets with quick trigger press (not a jerk) when sights are on target. Then do the same thing with the rifle in a carry position, mount rifle, press shot and bring rifle back to carry position. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat, Repeat and Repeat again and when comfortable start picking different targets. I hope that helps get you started and you can adapt and change as you get better.
