[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1936003, member: 105459"] [B]There is a check list that I use containing seven items. Some I perform in my mind, others before I even consider taking any shot. They are the following and apply just as much whether I'm punching paper, or trying to fill a permit / tag.[/B] [I]1) Know your rifle like you know your right , or left hand ! 2) Know your target and what lies beyond before you brake that shot. 3) Work with your scope until you can dial in Mil Dot, or MOA reticles accurately at any known distance . (being able to mentally perform calculations on the fly) 4) Become proficient at using a range finder. 5) Learn how to read as well as predict the wind and what it is doing at target range. 6) Shoot the same ammunition all the time either when target shooting or hunting , learning to shoot it extremely accurately. ( keep using the same ammunition at the range and while hunting until you can predictably know said bullets performance and attributes) 7) Slow your breathing and mentally calm yourself down before your shot. 8) Maintain a healthy, stable and demeanor and do not ever rush your shot.[/I] [B]I know that this is a rehash of what most of us are aware of, but do you subscribe to all of the listed items religiously? [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]( #2 I believe is the one item that you absolutely must adhere to )[/COLOR] [I]My thoughts.[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
