[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 1898791, member: 110615"] Great discussion thanks for starting the thread. Practicing mechanics and recoil management is often overlooked. A great rifle build and muzzle device is a huge benefit for sure. In 2017 I decided to get into competitive shooting for more trigger time and fun. The spirit of competing and the variety of courses of fire, stage designs etc. are a fantastic way to improve the ability to see impacts and even get to the point where you can pick up and follow trace to impact. An extra pound or two in the rifle is worth carrying around and there are other places we can cut that weight in our packs to allow for it. For me it’s not about winning matches so i shoot as close to the set up I will hunt with when I compete. In August Hornady is sponsoring a match course of fire that we hope catches on. Two weight classes of gun 16Lbs under and 12 Lbs under total weight including bipod, sling mag (less ammo). They also require a power factor for the billet which takes the heavy gun light 6mm out of play. It is geared toward the modern day rifleman Hunter and emphasis on rewarding a well placed first round hit and less points for a follow up “kill”.... two misses move on to next target. I will be shooting the same gun that will be used on an antelope hunt the week after. [/QUOTE]
