[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1932835, member: 112413"] Took me a while to post on this one, I think about everything has been covered in the posts that pertains to real accurate shooting tips. I'm going to share a tip I got from a fellow shooter named Rodney who's gone on now but had a profound effect on my shooting......"aim small shoot small". Its been repeated in this thread as well, used to watch him shoot and didn't matter if it was a 30-378 or 7mm RUM on down he could shoot the tiny groups. I stumbled on to a target that seemed to take the aim small shoot small into focus for me. Yes it was a certain target that really helped me to tighten up so to speak. I had the rifle hold and breathing basics down and I'll never tolerate recoil like some but this target helped me to always be on target center better than any. Its a palma target with very small center inside a diamond shape, the diamond helps me to have crosshair's at 12 and six and three and nine each time. I see four tiny pieces of pie and when things move even slightly I stop and restart the squeeze. I use only diamond shape target's now and in my case it has helped, I use the large open five diamond target for load work-up's and the smaller 12 diamond target when I'm dialed in for group's. I'm sure many will say they can shoot any shape or style target equally and my hats off to you, but for me old Rodney's saying lead me to these targets and they helped me in my shooting. Now I hate the 12 diamond target for one reason and that's the heavy black outline tends to hide bullet holes but if I see bullet holes it adds pressure with each shot on a good group and makes me loose concentration if I see a flier. We all got our little tricks and this is mine. That white center diamond in the 12 diamond target is 3/8" when you shoot in the white you got a great group. IMHO it has made me a better shooter and thats what this forum and all the rifle and load work is about :) Great thread topic![ATTACH type="full"]201207[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
