[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 167139, member: 5060"] Hey I do both---was shooting long range at the ranch for over 30 years and just started competing 2.5 years ago. I will tell you this -- it has improved my skills immensely and it does not hurt having Speedy build my sticks and mentor me in my quest. Have done pretty well so far even if I argue with the old guard that shooting a group that is “tiny” is not WORTH spit if it is 2 feet from the bull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shoot for score only and am always the last guy to finish shooting on the line---the groups come as well but to machine gun off a few rounds quickly while the wind condition remains the same has never appealed to me because the object is still to hit what you are aiming at. I don’t shoot at targets much except when competing or working up loads for a new gun. Don’t worry about the BR crowd but if you go to a match all of them are really nice guys who will help you to become a better shooter. Now remember just because someone has a computer and owns a so called long range rifle and reads the gun rags so they are an expert don’t let them fool you. I shoot 90% of my rounds through my hunting rifles and shoot the competition ones usually at matches only after the loads are tweaked which is a little unusual but I compete because I like to win and it makes me a better shot when it really counts. Bottom line is take things with a grain of salt on these internet boards as everyone is an expert! [/QUOTE]
