Caffeine versus Accuracy?

[Muddyboots]

So I am a coffee snob and really like strong flavorful coffee BUT dang it! Shooting after a couple cups is like trying to hold crosshairs in 50mph crosswind! How does caffeine affect your ability to shoot ELR? I am now finding even caffeine in soft drinks are affecting me more now than ever the older I got.

Man I usually drink coffee before range also and usually have a big chew in while shooting (opposite side of cheek rest lol). However I know few people I shoot with they refrain from coffee on the day they are shooting espicially load work days.

Redman or Levi?

Drink so much caffeine, I have to tie myself to the lead sled! I doesn't take much to affect my shooting, especially on a bench.

If I had caffeine, I would be shaking like a dog trying to pass a peach seed.

Well it can't be any worse than chain smoking, which I've seen a lot a guys do when waiting for barrels to cool off the firing line. Let's face it, shooting long range for accuracy is a tedious affair and sometimes some caffeine or nicotine takes the edge off. Just sayin.

No sir I am a skoal or grizzle LC straight guy!

 

[Remmy700]

I like to drink a few road beers on the way to the range to counter act the coffee affects! Nothing like some Coors light pumping thru your veins (only if the mountains are blue) to lay down some nasty little groups. It also helps u to tolerate all the ******* at the range!

Nothing I can't do after an extra large Dutch Bros. coffee, Az style of course iced. Seems to get me "right". Too hot here for hot coffee!

Nothin' wrong with that!

 

[Remmy700]

LMAO! This seems to be a universal problem. If you're gonna get muzzle-sweeped, you might as well be relaxed about it.

 

[Remmy700]

Yes sir. Spend all this money on tax stamps and cans so I don't have to hear that **** and I will be the only one there and the guy with a 308 wearing a barret 50 tank break will post up right beside me so he can have a convo after his 20 round strings. Or the guy with the ar10 will post up about two stations down cause he knows exactly how far to be away from me so that his stupid brass hits me!

About to start a new thread on the basics of "Range Etiquette" and how not to be that guy at the range! Sorry to stray from the topic brother.
