[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 121328, member: 8947"] Don't give up on competing just yet. Everyone wants to be competitive but participation is what improves your skills and the sport. Let's say your rifle/ammo and you will shoot 1.5MOA consistently in dead calm air. Well, that puts you in solid 9 ring as possibles with a 10 ring as your X. So, you need to shoot a score of 9X20 to be at your average each relay. A higher score should be considered improvements in your shooting and doping skills. The fact that the top shooters are shooting for max number of X's shouldn't bother you. Compete against yourself first. As you gain experience, you will also have time to save your pennies for more accurate hardware. Then you can think about placing, maybe even winning. The big thing I see is shooters shying away from trying because they don't have the very best (read expensive) gear. That is hurting the sport. Plus you will never learn if you never burn powder. Get out there, shoot to your best and have fun. The teeny tiny groups will come soon enough. Load up some match Black Hills or Fed and you may already by there. Jerry [/QUOTE]
