[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 946770, member: 74902"] ,[B] your focus should be zoned in on the reticle[/B] I also agree with this statement. You should be THINKING about nothing but the reticle on the target. As a matter of fact. You should be able to draw a bullseye on a piece of paper and mark EXACtLY where the reticle was on the target when the hammer dropped. You should be able to see the muzzle flash in the scope. Lots of long range target shooters mark the reticle on the bullseye after every shot. Then they look through the spotting scope, or whatever, to see where the bullet actually hit. Focus on this like Augustus said and forget about the recoil due to the extreme focus you have on the reticle. Do this while your friend is loading your chamber for you.:) Also, you could add a slip-on recoil pad over the existing recoil pad on your rifle. I do this alot with heavy recoiling rifles at the range. Limb Savers are good. [/QUOTE]
