[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2416209, member: 8873"] I can agree on smaller targets to a point. It depends on the particulars of the targets and backing. You need to be able to spot your misses, when practicing at least. Our targets are not small and all too often I have students not establishing an exact aim point and doing a target analysis after each shot. Common they just get a hit on steel and are satisfied. I tell them to pick a specific point (the small target aspect) and if they hit steel but not within minimal reason, then they didn’t hit their intended target. I usually have them targeting head shots just for this reason. Not only is it a smaller target, but is usually clear of impacts. It also instills a bit of confidence when you can make headshots out to some pretty good distances. Kinda funny, had a student get super excited on day 3 with a 1st round impact when we were trueing their rifles…on a 6’x6’ plate…@ 740 meters! 😁 [/QUOTE]
