[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2591575, member: 9299"] There are several of us here who have far surpassed those requirements and still see improvements by using anti-cant devices for LR/ELR shots and small bore prone bullseye and 22 LR. Instinctive shooting is one thing at shorter ranges and has its place even at LR/ELR, but as the distance grows, so do the human errors. Especially in ELR. I spent decades in competition shooting, and while I made High Master, I found I was more consistent with a sight level than without. Similar to many other competitors. In BR, their are reasons we use flat anti-cant bottoms and rests, and the same principle is applied to other shooting disciplines. Can one be a good shot without levels? Sure! I did it for many years at many ranges up to 1,000yd prone, Palma, Nat'l Match, etc, but once I began using levels, I saw improvements in consistency. Would an elk know the difference, maybe but maybe not. A Pdog or similar at LR sure would. Today's equipment gives us advantages well beyond the old school equipment many of us used in yesteryear, and while learning proper basic shooting skills is always a must, extending those skills into consistent LR/ELR (Defined as 800-1,200yds and then well beyond) or high precision short range bullseye may require one to take advantage of the modern tech. How many of us wish to return to 3-9x or10x scopes for the 1,000yd line? I did for a while, but why today? Same with all our other modern equipment for our discipline. Each to his own, or YMMV [/QUOTE]
